Ride as much as possible, eat right, and drink lots of water. another thing I found to help with my thumb is having the throttle lever adjusted where it feels right. After all this it just comes down to buying parts.

Look up arthritis stretches for your thumb, fingers and fore arm. They have been a big help to me. Best advice is still to ride often and make sure everything on your bars are adjusted to be comfortable for you.

RIDE ALOT! Gotta condition your muscles. Also an ice cream scoop will cure throttle thumb. As for arm pump, pushups and pull ups.
Also wear gloves if you dont, i prefer mechanics gloves the best.

a rowing machine ( work out machine) will help with arm pump. riding a lot helps too.

Doing some good 30min stretch's before you ride will help alot, mostly do your wrist and fingers, mainly you wanna stretch and hold that position for a few mins then go on to other stretchs then back to the ones you did before ...etc...
The other option is a twist throttle, I had the same issues and a twist throttle helped alot. Then I had a accident that injured my right hand for good, so now a twist throttle is all I can use.
Actually I could use a thumb throttle but I would suffer twice as much as you guys do with wrist and thumb cramping, also my grip isnt as good so being able to keep my hand fully on the bars at all times is a big help.
the thing about twist throttles and atvs is, you either love them or hate them, I just so happen to love mine
