Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain Underneath Thumb Knuckles With A Spot On Left Hand?
My boyfriend has been experiencing a needle like pain below his thumb knuckles, toward the side of his hand. Today he saw a white raised line in that spot on his left hand, about 3 in long and a .5 cm in width. He recently started a job that requires him to lift heavy objects, and this is when it started. Is this serious? What might this be?
It is a kind of inflammation in the tendons of the thumb, that requires a time to rest his hands. He may also ask his doctor for cortisone injections that has a good power to heal such a things.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman, Internal Medicine Specialist
