Hello @deejojo0811 and welcome to the online community,

Small joint pain can be very challenging and it’s a shame the steroid injections didn’t last long. You might find this link useful - it talks about possible treatments for arthritis in the hand including surgery:

Gentle exercises can also sometimes help with pain, so here’s a link to some suggestions below:

Do let us know how you’re getting on,
