Hi @Smith1
Welcome to the Online Community.
Many times I have heard people say they 'only' have mild arthritis, but are in considerable pain. I have done a search for you - link below. I hope it reassures you that individual's experience of the severity of pain is not always matched by clinical assessment:
I am sure someone will be along soon to share their own experience, but in the meantime I am attaching some information about managing pain:
In case you haven't seen this I am also attaching some information about about hand wrist pain:
My best wishes
Ellen

Morning @Smith1
I am so sorry about the diagnosis not matching your pain. People have said that here before. We are all different and it doesn't help to have your pain 'minimised' by a Dr.
Sending you ((()))
Take care
Toni
