The best advice I can give is to have a guitar fretted with the tallest frets that will work. Taller frets require less fretting pressure and are thus easier on a painful hand. When I had a run in with a succession of Statin drugs that left me everything but crippled, the only guitar I could play for any length of time was a Gibson (short scale) with monstrous .056 frets and light strings.
