Gotta agree with Lurch. It needs to be checked by a professional.

If the pain gets worse, the hand begins to swell, or look purplish even when not hanging down, it might be a real emergency.Don't mess around. Get some help.

Call your doctor.

Blocked circulation is very dangerous and can be life threatening. I hope you are able to contact your doctor.

Get it checked

From your comment about the purple coloring, that would suggest a lack of blood flow. Sounds like you need to get it checked...
