Remedy For Severe Pain In Thumb
back in April 2012 my right thumb starting hurting , it would pop when I tried to bend it . When the end was touched it was very painful anddown at the bottem near my hand it was very painful deep inside . These symthoms lasted a couple months. By the end og July my thumb does not bend. I have felt pain on the outside of my wrist. A week ago my joint where my thumb connects to my hand has poped a few times. I have lost the ability to use my right thumb and am getting a little scared that this might be something serious . I am in a bit of a situation , no income , no insurance , therefor not able to go to a doctors office.

Hello,
As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
We have to rule out possible causes like peripheral neuropathy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
