Was there any injury or jerk in hand. Did you did some heavy work recently. The probable cause for pain and swelling may be soft tissue strain
Next Steps
You can start with ice fomentation, apply crepe bandage for support, take analgesic with anti inflammatory medicine, apply analgesic ointment locally for pain relief, avoid heavy work. If pain persisted plan to get one x ray of hand
