Rheumatoid arthritis

Has anyone got any tips on how to deal with rheumatoid arthritis? My husband's got it in the hands and wrists. He plays golf and it is really hampering his game because it is so painful His knuckles are badly swollen. The GP only offers Ibuprofen gel. He has tried Glucosamin but the GP puts no faith in it and he hasn't seen any improvement in it after using it for a couple of months already. He has diabetes 2nd class as well, but I don't know how much that affects the arthritis.

My husband is also getting interrupted sleep because of the pain.

Would appreciate any ideas, please.
