Dr. Jeffrey Wint answered

Specializes in Hand Surgery

Rest and then: Modify activity and then get evaluated . With no obvious history of injury one must think of other things such as tendon irritation synovitus or some type of abnormality in alignment of the wrist or forearm bones, if rest splinting activity modification don't work you should be evaluated.
