Medications can help this type of pain, and surgery may be an option
Find the real cause. Treatment is tailored to the cause of the pain, not just symptoms.
Extension splints.
The answer really depends upon what is the cause of your "nerve pain." The most common cause in a 58 year old female is carpal tunnel syndrome. I suggest that you see a hand surgeon to get a proper diagnosis and discuss treatment recommendations.
It depends on what is causing the nerve pain. Do you have a pinched nerve such as carpal tunnel syndrome? Treating the source of the nerve problem will treat the pain. Medications, such as neurontin, are only minimally helpful with lots of side effects.
