What Could Cause Pain In Hand?
Hey. So my hand just recently started hurting when ever I put pressure on it (when I push myself up from a chair, push open a door, or brace my weight on my hand climbing onto my bed). I ve poked and prodded it but that doesn t hurt. It only hurts when pressure is on it or I bend it rather far backwards. It hurts along the pinky side of my hand not through the pinky but from the wrist to where the finger separates from the rest of my hand. I was hoping someone could tell me what might be wrong and how long you think it will take to start feeling better.

Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to muscle sprain.
For pain, you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally.
Heating pads also help.
Restrict your movements.
In case of swelling, you may require an X-ray hand after orthopedician consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
