What Is The Recovery Period For Osteoarthritis In Fingers?

I am 62. Crohn s for 25 years. Acid Reflux for 10. Sleep apnea for 3 years. On Remacaide for Crohn s at max dose. Doc just tapered me off Entocort, which I was on for years. It took 9 months. I feel lousy. NEW diagnosis of Osteo Arthritis in knees, fingers and some shoulder pain. I have had knee injections with some success, but my fingers are hurting. I use Tramadol for pain twice a day and a topical ointment, Australian dream, with varied success. My question is how long will I feel like this and and what else can I do so I can play piano once again? Thank you.
