It could be tendonitis, which is an inflammation of one or more tendons in the hand. If so, the general recommendation is to rest the hand and use over-the-counter pain releivers for the pain. However, you would need to see a doctor to rule out other possible causes. You might also try our Symptom Checker to see if it suggests any other possiblities.
