Suggest Treatment For Restricted Movement In Thumb

Tendonitis likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Due to excessive stress it seems that you are suffering from tendonitis of the thumb. It usually subsides with proper rest and pain killers in few weeks. For earlier relief you can-
1. Give enough rest to your hand muscle.
2. Take mild pain killers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
3. Stronger prescription NSAIDS with muscle relaxants may help if simple analgesics do not help.
4. Hot compresses to your thumb will be useful pain relieving measure. You may apply a local analgesic gel on that area.
5. Avoid all painful movements and bending the thumb till the pain subsides completely.
I hope this answers your query.

Fracture is not likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
A fracture is not likely as there is no swelling or bruise in the area. A stress fracture in the area is a remote possibility.
You can use a local analgesic ointment like Volini gel.
