Thank you all for your thoughts and advice! I'm going to try to "cold plunge" hand thing for a few days. My problem is that the pain in my hands is inconsistent. Some days they're pretty good. Other days, not good at all.
So thanks again!

The refrigerator water temp bath is painful (pain from the coldness) beginning at about 1 minute in….until about 2 minutes in. Then the pain decreases and the remaining 8 minutes are more tolerable.
I just have to tough it out.
Afterwards, I don’t move my hands and fingers until they’ve warmed up quite a bit. That’s why I do it at night, before bed.
Good luck. Tell us how your experience results.
