Hello,
Her symptoms look like
Carpal tunnel syndrome. In the early stage, you experience cramp &
numbness, later shaking & less grip strength.
It happens 'cause of
nerve getting compressed(pinched) & slow nerve impulses lead to impaired ability to use the thumb.
You are suggested to visit ER or a GP & get clinically examined. Get X-ray, Nerve conduction tests & Electromyogram done.
You will be treated (wrist splinting, medicines, surgery) according to your symptoms & pathology detected.
You are suggested to give rest to your hands, avoid activities that cause discomfort, maintain low BMI, avoid sleeping on your hands, rotate your wrists & stretch your palms and fingers.
For relieving you can take a pain reliever like
Advil or
Aleve, one sos when required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
