What Causes Soreness And Abnormal Feeling In The Thumb?
My left thumb seems to hyper extend or something during sleep lately. If I wear a thumb brace it is fine. Last night I forgot and in droggyness felt pain and popping in the base of my thumb. It made me quezzy. It is sore today, but works fine. Thank you. Suzanne

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain. To get relief from the pain and for quick healing: 1. Do hot fomatation at the site. 2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day. 3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation. 4. Do not lift weight or try to do exercise that involve painful muscles. Give proper time to heal.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
