It could be due to several things, as people have said. Carpal tunnel syndrome, circulatory disorders, thoracic outlet syndrome, brachial plexus injury, peripheral nerve injury, nerves getting pinched coming out from the neck bones or by a disk, etc. You should have it checked out by your doctor. Many problems get harder to treat as they go on longer. It's best to deal with them early. If it is a musculo-skeletal disorder/repetitive strain injury/etc, physical therapy or a hand therapist (physical therapy or occupational therapy) can help. Someone mentioned that a chiropractor could fix a ganglion in the hand. I would have to question that. A ganglion is a phenomenon localized in the hand. A chiropractor is a specialist in the spine. How could a chiro fix a hand (I've seen them claim to fix carpal tunnel syndrome as well)? Wouldn't it be outside their scope of practice. There is nothing you can do in the spine to help a hand ganglion or a true carpal tunnel. If the pain is due to a nerve impingement from a disk bulge or a malalignment, then they could have a place (though research hasn't always been supportive of them, especially for problems beyond the acute stage).
