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?
