Increasing Swelling And Pain In The Palm Below The Thumb. Hand Hurts While Using Mouse. Cause Treatment?

On the palm side of my hand under my thumb it appears swollen. I get a dull ache from it. It got better for a while and now seems worse. When I press the top of my hand there is pain from a bone. The pain is increased when i spread my finger and thumb apart. When I touch my hand there is pain on the top and underside of my palm. I have not been diagnosed by GP as been unable to make an appointment. It hurts on the top of my hand whilst using a mouse.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The description sounds typical of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome...
You have not stated your age, gender, personal habits, family history or co-morbidities - Obese? Diabetic? Hypothyroid?
Neurologist / Orthopaedician have to see and investigate...
MRI and/or nerve conduction may have to be done...
Surgery may be necessary for relief...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
