How Can The Back Of The Hand Pain Be Treated?

The back of my hand REALLY hurts when I flex my wrist, and it also hurts when I extend it while pushing off (not so much if I just extend it for the sake of showing how it doesn t hurt as much). It s not my wrist that hurts, it s the back of my hand. It started a few weeks ago when I grabbed something to keep my balance. It hurts if i grab a door handle, turn and push.
