I need help now im freaking out. Im a 16 year old boy and have every osteoarthritis symptom in the basal joint of my thumb. I have deep aching pain aas we speak. This did not come out of no where but it wasnt expected. Im a heavy gamer and texter, and i have had minor thumb overuse pains but nothing big. But all of a sudden this weekend it my thumb starts to kill me. As if it was a slow process building up to this. Do i have osteoarthritis? Im 16 and no family history whatsoever of this and im overall healthy. Will this go away?
