Except for occasional flare ups, mine is pretty much gone and at worst was pretty debilitating (eg hurt to pick up a glass of water). I think all of these do a lot:

- Exercises and stretches from the pdfs here: https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/. Finding some that feel kinda good and then doing them a few weeks worked better than suggestions from doctors. I do the exercises as part of my warmup for my normal 3x a week workout and do the stretches at the end.

- Use a stylus for my phone at all times. Just the type that is a ballpoint pen with a rubber tip on the cap. Also a pop-socket to hold it with.

- Cut down on bike riding for the sake of my wrists.

- Play mostly console games, less phone and PC b/c consoles have more ergonomic controllers.

- Fasting. I do at least a 24hr fast every week and that always works at least temporarily. I have several problems related to inflammation and for some people this helps a lot.

Geekiest bonus suggestion: use XFCE as a desktop and configure all the hotkeys so you can do things like move windows around with the keyboard.
