Suggest Treatment For Tenderness And Discomfort In Thumbs
I type on a keyboard on a daily basis for years and years. I experience, discomfort and pain in my Thumbs, when I spend time cutting and chopping, vegetables/meat for meals. Also discomfort and sensitivity in thumbs, when pulling my pants up or down, since typically you pull your pants up with your thumbs. When I type at work I have no discomfort?

Hi, i am sorry ro hear your problem. the discomfort in the fingers of hand can be due to the median nerve compression or the excessive use of that particular hand. for this you need to visit hand surgeon which comes.under the domain of plastic surgery. your doctor can order the nerve conduction study to investigate your problem. in case you are suffering from that carpal tunnel syndrome, he will release it under local anesthesia.
