Hmmm - I know exactly where you mean, is this your writing hand as well? I would recommend doing some finger and hand exercises - you might even try getting one of those gyroscope hand and wrist exercise balls from a local sporting good store:

Also try these execises:

Specifically the wrist flexor and extensor exercises. years ago I noticed a guitarist friend of mine do these exercises before a gig and I asked him what he was doing - he showed me how to do it and I was amazed how well they stretched my hand and forearms out before playing.
last summer after playing golf, I noticed a sharp pain in my right arm (elbow area). Turned out to be "tennis elbow" after searching the web - the cure was to either rest your arm for weeks and possibly months or exercise it. Well I rested it for months but the pain never went away - i had a hard time holding my arm out straight and picking up say a beer. I started exercising it on my Bowflex machine and within 2 days I felt 50% better. A week of resistant exercise and the pain is almost 100% gone. I'm 41 and starting to feel more body aches than I ever did before - so in my case, exercising my muscles keeps me going.
Hope this helps.
