Hello,

Pain in the palm of your hand going on for a month now should be further evaluated through x-ray and a good examination by an orthopaedic specialist.

Take immediate appointment with an orthopaedic specialist and continue taking paracetamol.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
