Hi there.

Your symptoms correlate to a neuroma (a small swollen nodule) in the nerve which passes between ring and middle finger.

Firstly get an MRI of the hand done and evaluated by an orthopedician.

Treatment :
1. Get the local tender area infiltrated with Depomedrol. This should be done only by an orthopedician.
2. Start with radicular pain suppressing medicines like Pregablin and Duloxetine.
3. Amitryptylin or Carbamezepine can be added if above medication does not suffice.

If all the above measures fail to suppress pain completely then you might have to undergo surgical removal of the neuroma.

I hope my advice has helped.
Good luck.
