Welcome to HCM.
Most likely it is there due to your improper position of shoulder,elbow and wrist.
There is continuous stretching of muscles in unequal,odd position causes chronic muscle injury and result in to stiffness.
Sitting,writing arrangement of your table,chair should be ergonomically fit to your body posture.
So be conscious about your sitting,writing posture.
You can find out on any website for ergonomically best position for sitting,writing.search for that.
Take B12,folic acid,calcium,protein milk powder and other supplement.
Apply nsaid gel locally.
Take oral nsaid during severe pain.
Regular exercise,yoga will be definitely helpful.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
