As said above and hopefully you've now followed the suggestion and seen your Doctor - if not Do So!

It could be many things, in some cases regular exercise of the joint will help in others it can cause further damage - so find out what the problem is.

Having had hand problems for over five years, which cause me tremendous pain and frustration especially when playing (on average 4/5 nights a week plus a 3hr session for ARC every Tues during the season)you have my sympathy.

If it is diagnosed as Arthritis related the link at the top of the page is a handy source for information and support here in the UK.

Whatever the problem Don't worry, where there's a will there's a way

take care
