Pain in Right Hand
I have developed pain in the back of my right hand along the bone of my right ring finger close to the wrist. This pain is particularly aggravated when I grip the golf club.

I swing right handed. I use an interlocking grip with the pinky of the right hand interlocked with the left index finger. I have tried using a conventional grip, not interlocked, and still have the same pain.

I first noticed this pain after I started trying to practice what I saw in the Ben Doyle videos. I suspect that I have clubhead throwaway and am trying to fight it by forcing a frozen right wrist instead of having proper lag in my swing. I have continued to play golf with this pain, thinking that it may improve with practice, but it is getting worse. Obviously, I am doing something wrong in my swing and I want to see an AI soon to get it fixed. But for now, I need to know what I should do and what I should not do to try to strengthen my wrist/hand and help it heal instead of making it worse.

Any suggestions for therapy would be appreciated.

If anyone else has experienced a similar problem and knows what swing errors caused it, suggestions there would also be appreciated.
