Hand pain : Irritation of the tendons for capsules around the bones in your hand or wrist can be very difficult to treat. It is important however to make sure all of the bony structures are normal and this can be done with plain x-rays. If the joints and bone structures are normal in the management would be to rest tendons and muscles of the hand by aggressive splinting. See your doctor about getting X-rays.
