It might be injury. Consult orthopaedic doctor. If she is on any blood thinners- spontaneous bleeding is possible.

Get her evaluated for carpal tunnel syndrome and glomus tumour if there is no history of trauma. If there is trauma, get x-rays to rule out fracture etc.
Next Steps
Try cold water bath . medications like Enzomac and Ultracet will be helpful.
