Carpal Tunnel: Check to see if all of your fingers ache or if your little finger is spared. Symptoms sound like carpal tunnel, which is pressure on the median nerve at the wrist. Symptoms are usually worse at night and hanging your hand down to get relief is very common. Try icing wrist down before bed, take some anti-inflammatory meds, and get a wrist splint to sleep in. If not better, see a hand surgeon.
