Should I see my orthopedic?

I’ve been having pain in my hand and wrist pain since I’ve been pregnant and now I’m 4 months pp and the pain is worse. My job requires a lot of hands on work where I sew by hand and tie thread. The pain worsens at work but aswell with every day activities like making a bottle, carrying baby, and picking up items. I believe I might have early arthritis but I’m no doctor. I think I need to go to my orthopedic because of how much it’s effecting my every day to day life. Only problem is I also have a lot of dental work I’m getting done and need to see my optometrist for new contact prescription. I’m scared I can’t afford a large orthopedic bill but I’m also scared to put off getting it checked out any longer. My dad but off getting a injury checked out because he though it was arthritis and just ended up in pain for over a year and just got surgery.
