An osteopath who does soft-tissue manipulation would help. I've been going to one for tendinitis in my forearms and fingers, plus thumbs (she also works on the rest of me to keep it aligned) and it has helped a lot, along with very gentle therapy-guided exercise. I've also been going to a hand therapy person who uses ultrasound for treatments.

Am now waiting for them to all be in the office after the holidays to treat very painful tennis elbow, from throwing a ball for the dog.:-) I hear you on the pain; it makes doing anything difficult and feels so defeating. This has been going on since last Feb. for me. There are more good days than bad, finally. Hang in there. Soft tissue damage always hurts worse than a break and can take longer to heal.
