Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings from Dr Divakara P
Thanks for posting your query.
No I don't think Telmisartan can cause stiffness in thumb . I have used this medicine on number of patients and till now none have complained of this.
I think you thumb stiffness is unrelated to Telmisartan. If the stiffness persists then you need to get evaluation done.
In that regard you need to get the following tests done.
X ray, Serum Uric acid and CRP.
Continue to take Telmisartan.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
Regards.
