Where exactly is the site of pain? Besides pain, do you get any swelling or redness around the area with pain?

Seven years ago, I got swelling and pain over the extensor tendon of my left thumb (that is at the wrist) due to overuse with typing. The position of pain is quite similar to what I have with my right hand if I practise the clarinet for very long time. At that time I took anti-inflammatory drugs regularly and put on a brace for a month without any improvement. In the end my friend, who is an orthopedic surgeon specialised in hand surgery, gave me steroid injection and the problem was gone within few days. The pain did have mild recurrence once or twice over these years, but it subsided spontaneously.

Mind you there is risk with use of steroid injection. The worst situation is tendon rupture. There may also be hypopigmentation of the skin over the injection area. Try to get a good hand surgery specialist to do the injection for you.

And before you seek medical advice, stop playing or your problem will just get worse.
