Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.MM. Forum.

Since you mentioned that pain is more due to exertion .
Pain is mainly in the index and middle finger
The nerve supply of this area is by radial nerve and blood supply by radial artery, so also drain by radial vein.
Main reason of pain may be irritation of radial nerve due to continue exertion ( over work).
First of all get a rest of 15 days from your work and you will feel relief.
Alternatively get in examination of calcium and B 12 level for nervitis.
Consult a NEUROLOGIST and get his opinion.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
