General & Family Physician 's  Response
Dear Patient, this pain could come from a nerve affection from the cervical spine or most likely be a so called carpal tunnel syndrome. If possible, you should get that checked by a neurologist. The treatment contains some "fixing-rails" for the night to fix the hand-joint/ wrist at night and antiinflammatory pills like diclofenac 50mg to reduce swelling (after checking with your md in town). Hope you get better soon, if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
