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.
Today sitting on the couch I felt my thumb moving toward my little finger and felt a kind of numbing sensation in the thumb. I wiggled it back and forth and it started to do it again until I had wiggled it several more times and then it stopped. That was a very sneaky way to lure a payout.
Hello, Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern I went through your query, and I feel, you need to understand that your symptoms could be either due to carpal tunnel syndrome or it could be due to triggering of the flexor of thumb, only by examination can we come to the conclusion on what you might be having, I feel that you should consult an Hand Surgeon at the earliest. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks.
