Ok this is really annoying. I wrote about getting this from doing weights the stupid way with pilates. Holding the weights with only the thumb with the rest of the fingers extedend. I think its been over a month and my right hand is still in pain. When I make a fist there is obvious strain and tension, especially my middle finger. Its always sore, can't move well, and is in pain. HOW LONG IS THIS SUPPOSED TO LAST? I ask here because people who use weights surely have had sprain joints, etc. Any tips appreciated. I don't want to go to a doctor for this minor, but very annoying horrible thing!

And I can't really "keep off" this hand because I write with this hand! :0
