What Causes Pain And Weakness In Thumb Radiating Towards Center Of Palm?
I m have pain in my thumb area. Where the movement of grasping - turning my thumb to the center of my palm causes pain/weakness. I m 60 and use my hands a lot. I ve been keeping it fairly immobile for a week or more with no relief. I m wondering if I may have a burr of some sort?
You area having Carpal tunnel syndrome. Avoid constant repetitive activities of the hands of wrists. Take pain killers for 5 days. Take Tablet Pregabalin 75mg at night for a month. Get an Ultrasound to look for the cause of nerve compression. It may need surgery to release a tight ligament in the wrist.
