Suggest Remedies For Thumb Pain
I have pain in my thumb and it pops back and forth into place at the joint. I don t know if I dislocated it since I can still move my thumb. Had no idea I had to pay for an answer. Sorry I thought this was like some of the other websites. I ll followup with my PCP. Thanks anyway

Hi,
To relieve pain, your doctor might recommend topical medications, such as capsaicin or diclofenac, which are applied to the skin over the joint. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or naproxen sodium (Aleve).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Monish De, Oncologist
