    Some advice I was given, sounds a bit strange but worked for me, was
    to put a rubber band across your thumb and first finger and open and
    close your hand to stretch the band. When you get tired move the band
    to your next finger and open and close your hand until that finger is
    tired, and so on. 

    When you can do it for a long time move to a stronger band. The
    theory is that you have made the muscles that grip much stronger than
    the ones that open your hand and if you rebalance them the pain goes
    away. I think I saw this on a blacksmithing site, anyway it worked
    for me and is A, drug free 2, free and thirdly, gives you something
    to do while you watch the telly. 

Tim.
