Brief Answer:
X ray of hand should be taken to rule out any fracture.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. X ray of hand should be taken to rule out any fracture. Compression or damage to ulnar nerve can give such pain distribution.

You can do ice pack application. Use elastic bandage for immobilization. Taking over the counter NSAID like Ibuprofen will be helpful also.

Let me know if anything not clear. I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
