What would make it very painful to move your hand or make a fist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Injury/bruising?: Have you injured it by lifting/straining, overusing it? If so, ice or heat to the area may help. Could also be due to arthritis or pinched nerve. If not improving in a few days, see a doctor. Good luck!
