I’ve got a similar problem, but only in my left hand. Unfortunately, I am left-handed. I went to an arthritis specialist. They can give you prescription medication to reduce the inflammation, but you’ll probably end up taking it for the rest of your life. Fortunately, for me, the doctor recommended I just take a couple of ibuprofen in the morning before I get started on anything. So far, that has worked for me. Some days I need to take a couple of ibuprofen in the afternoon. Still better than getting stuck taking a prescription med.
