Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had pain in my thumb for a while and have been wearing a thumb stabilizing wrist wrap for the past week and a half. Dr. said that the tendons in my thumb are inflamed. When I move my thumb, my wrist feels like it is popping out of the socket. I am worried that there may be something additionally wrong with my wrist. Please help.

Hi, i am understanding your problem. Tendons of thumb pass through the wrist joint. As your doctor told you about inflamned tendons, so the popping in your wrist is might be related to you tendons only . Not need to worry just follow the advse of your doctor and wear the stabilizer and when inflammation subside. Do some stretching and strengthening or hand muscles. Hope you got the satisfactory reply. wish you good health.
