See a physio. By that I mean put your hand in your pocket and go see a good one (if you can afford to), before it gets worse. GP's aren't interested in referring someone who lifts. They will just tell you to quit - which may actually sort your problem out! They'd rather give you sick notes as that costs your employer or you, and doesn't eat into their practice's budget.
