Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you are having carpel tunnel syndrome. In this condition there is nerve compression in the wrist and it causes pain in three and half fingers. I would suggest you following.
1.Wrist splinting.
2.Tablet Pregabalin M at night time.
3.Avoid keeping wrist in bending position for long time.
4.Steroid injection can be given in wrist to prevent inflammation.It should be given by trained person only.
5.In severe cases you may need surgery to take care of the compression.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any followup questions.
thanks
