Carpal tunnel?: Carpal tunnel syndrome can do this. Usually gets worse with activity of the hand such as sustained gripping or repetitive use. Sometimes causes altered sensation in the first three digits of the hand and sometimes wakes you up at night.

See your doctor: It is unclear whether this is nerve related or tendon/joint related. You need to supply more info and have the hand examined to know how to proceed.

Hand Pain: Any compression or injury to the nerves that supply the wrist and medial digits, such as a bone spur, fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or a myriad of other causes, could be responsible. If the pain is only intermittent, the differential list gets even longer. It is best to consult a neurologist of orthopedist to have a thorough evaluation. Wile you're waiting for your appointment, if you can.
