I'm a PT by profession and a clarinetist by avocation. I strongly second Karl's advice to get medical help ASAP and to rest until then. Repetitive motion injuries hard to treat if allowed to go on very long, but generally clear up well if caught early. I strongly recommend that you get to an orthopedist (even a hand specialist if available) quickly. Don't rely on your primary care for anything beyond a referral and maybe some meds to tide you over. This really isn't what PCP does best. Your PCP may be an excellent resource in finding the right orthopedist though. By the way, if you get referred for PT try to find a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT). They can be either PTs or OTs.

Once you get things calmed down have someone look closely at your technique to help you correct your form in order to prevent a recurrence.

Your need to take this seriously. The director of my community orchestra used to be a professional in a major national symphony but switched jobs due to repetitive motion injuries from playing his instrument.
