Sore Thumb
Posted: 11-01-06 19:53pm

Yes I was wondering if anybody could help me out. I recently started having pain in my thumb leading into my wrist. It mainly hurts if I press against my palm trying to push my wrist back. Also it hurst whenever I try to push down on my thumb or pull it out to the side. It hurts as well whenever I pick something up and try to squeeze it. If anyone can help me determine what might be wrong please let me know. Thank you.

It could be a few things. I am thinking of arthritis, or maybe a strain, sprain, or dislocation. Do you crack you knuckles or so any sort of repetitive movement that involves your thumb?

No matter what it is, you can relieve the pain by not using it and letting it rest....stop doing whatever moves it. You can also use a heating pad and cold soaks to speed up a healing process.
