We had a fellow here who was straining his hands doing push ups. His palmar pain went away when he stopped that activity.
Do you use the magnesium lotion? (Morton Epsom Lotion)...
This too applied to the wrists and inner arms may help.
Available at WalMart, Walgreen's and online at Amazon. Just a nickles diameter dollop on each wrist is all you need.
Both of these topicals are inexpensive and work for me to quell much of my discomfort.

I would love to try something like the Aspercreme with Lidocaine but it's illegal in my country. Just tried Amazon to see if it was possible but it blocked me. I have severe burning pain in my feet and hands and nothing helps. It's meant I'm now in a wheelchair. It's incredibly frustrating knowing there are a wide range of medications available overseas that could be helpful that I'm never going to be able to access.
This is partly a slightly depressed rant and also wondering if some others face this difficulty? If so any ideas about solutions?
I found out today I'm being discharged from the pain clinic who have seen me for the last 9 months. So it's sort of end of the line. I pretty much know what's available to me and also know it's not enough as I'm steadily
deteriorating. It means I'll have no specialist care but I think there's a recognition that they don't have anything else to offer me. They've been very good to me and I'm grateful but I'm also scared. My quality of life is not high. Guess the frustration is knowing there could be something out there that could make things more bearable but I can't access it simply because of the country I live in. Sorry if this sounds very negative. Just a bit worn out.
