It seems to be tendinitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.

I have gone through the image attached. From description it seems to be tendinitis (inflammation of tendons).
For this give rest to the part. Avoid wringing movement. Do icing. Take antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation. Apply crepe bandage.

Hope this helps you.
Warm regards.
