My remedy for the RSI in my right hand (stiffness and pain in the fingers and knuckles) is gripping as hard as possible. If I work out I remind myself to grip everything as hard as I possibly can, and I add light dumbbell exercises so I can specifically focus on gripping as hard as possible. If I'm at my desk or wherever I also occasionally make a fist as hard and tense as I can. The pain has gone away and my hand has its full range of motion again. Of course, for all I know I could be doing something wrong and my hand will blow out in a few years. Just adding my anecdotal experience.
