What Causes Occasional Pain In The Right Hand?
I am experiencing occasional pain in my right hand halfway between base of thumb and wrist. It appears a bit inflamed but not red or warm. I was playing with a toddler and he accidentally kicked the sore spot and pain was horrible for about a minute. It has been going on for about 2 weeks now, but not at any regular time. I workout daily in the gym and thought maybe I did something there, but now I m thinking perhaps there is fluid or something in there. The range of motion is normal for my thumb and does not hurt when I move it or touch it.

Hello
First I will advise to do x ray and rule out any unicortical fracture in your thumb/wrist.
According to your history it looks that there is possibility of injury to ligament of metacarpal or phalange joint.
If you are having swelling and pain you can strap your finger to get proper rest to joint.And apply crepe bandage for support and compression.
Use ice packs to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain.
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
For early healing you can take Tab celin [vit C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzomac plus ].
If there is no relief them you may need to do MRI.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
