Thumb pain from mouse
Common Questions and Answers about Thumb pain from mouse
finger
Of late, I have noticed mild pain in my right hand and wrist especially when on the computer. The pain is more neuralgic type and not necessarily bone or muscle pain. I feel it is also finger specific, especially all my fingers other than my thumb and pinkie all of which I use to move the cursor. I am afraid I may have carpal tunnel. Please do suggest what to do now.
This then presses on the nerve which then causes a pain right up to the elbow. Thumb and pointer finger are first to be affected. Often proper working style, working without bending wrist, using smooth movements to operate the mouse and key pad, and relaxing the joints of finger, wrist and arm in between helps. A wrist support or arm support too helps and you have computer chairs with support for your spine and arm.
Its a light scratch, some blood came to a surface to make a little red line, but no actual bleeding out or leak occurred. My question is after all this, could I get rabies from the mouse she had in her mouth prior to biting me? She has her shots, but Im worried if I could contract it because the mouse was just recently in her mouth (Im unsure if she managed to get any of its blood in her mouth or not) Thank you for your time and patience! I appreciate you helping me!!!
t move my left hand(from elbow till limbs) it felt dead. so I used my right hand to pick my left hand up in the air tried opening and closing my limbs and after a minute or so it was alright.
Although I don't feel anything now and it is feeling perfect....but for a second I thought I was paralyzed and that was horrible.
Would you suggest me to see a doctor or practice any precautions while sleeping or it is just a normal thing?
Thanks.
It has been about 2 weeks now since my wrist started hurting. The pain is on the thumb side of the wrist. It don't think it is a fracture because there is no swelling or discoloration.
But it sure hurts a lot.
When I wake up it hurts a lot - even for the slightest moment and then the range of motion improves as the day progresses. I am not sure if it is a a ligament tear.
I believed I had Carpal tunnel syndrome because when I was writing i would get a shooting pain up and down ONLY my wrist area, and when on the computer when my right hand was using the mouse and resting on the desk at the same time, my wrist hurt too much to have any pressure on it.
Symptoms begin with numbness and tingling of the first three or two fingers from the thumb side (twitch is also possible). Nerve conduction studies are quite diagnostic. Treatment is usually by splints and steroid injections. Surgery may be required in some cases. This condition is common in those who use the key board, mouse etc a lot—like in computers or in typing jobs.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Take care!
When I wake in the mornings, my left thumb and my 3 middle finger joints and thumb on my right hand hurts like mad. What can this be? I work in an office and use the keyboard and mouse constantly, can that be the reason this is happening? Is there some topical ointment I can rub on it to make the aching pain go away? If not, is there some oral medicine used to treat this kind of pain!! Thank you in advance for your help.
m a graphic designer, recently graduated from college and just started my first job. Toward the end of college I occasionally got pain in my right wrist from computer-mouse use; ergonomics seemed to help, however my wrist got weaker over the summer. When I started my first full-time job in Sept, the pain became unbearable. My wrist is weak, I cannot do my hair, stir food on the stove, or put any pressure on that hand (no yoga, no push-ups).
Since mid march 2015 i have been suffering from wrist pain. It got so painful i had to leave work and go to the emergency doctors who thought it could be tendonitis. I took ibuprofen and paracetemol.. Had no pain relief so went to my GP. I got signed off work for two weeks as they thought i may have sprained my wrist. (I do not do any sports, i just work as an administrator in a very busy office so i do a lot of clicking with the mouse daily).
When scalene muscle is the cause of pain, the pain is referred to chest, inner lining of scapula (shoulder bone), shoulder, posterior and lateral sides of the arm right up to the thumb and index finger. Repeated clicking of mouse of computer can injure the tendon of index, cause compression of median nerve and also cause this numbness.

Very similar story, earlier elbow/arm,shoulder pain that disappeared, but no known injury and 62 year old female, use computer mouse, keyboard a lot. No pain in thumb, just doesn't work to bend last distal joint.in right thumb. Same story, first noticed with trying to use a lighter. First joint seems to work fine. Just thought it was a curious mystery "fluke" associated with age, and not a big deal. But I guess it's been about 5 weeks so wondering how others have fared.
Wrist Tendonitis (DeQuervains Tendonitis) can be defined as an irritation and swelling of the sheath or tunnel which surrounds the tendons of the thumb. Typically the pain will be present at the front of the wrist. Pain will be initiated when grasping an object or pinching the fingers."
Please let us know how you are doing. I will look forward to your next post.

Symptoms begin with either numbness and tingling of the first three or two fingers from the thumb side or by just pain. Usually there is no swelling. Treatment is usually by splints and steroid injections. Surgery may be required in some cases.
It could also be rheumatoid arthritis, gout or tendonitis. However all these would also cause some inflammation and swelling. Please consult an orthopedic specialist.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted.

Other possibilities are rheumatoid arthritis, gout and an injury (recent) which you do not remember.

burning/stinging sensation on the back of both hands when writing, holding a book or using computer mouse, searing tricep pain and shooting stinging pain from hands into forearms and shoulders (not exactly a straight traveling pain but more diffuse through arm when using fingers for typing, texting or holding things. All symptoms bilateral. Nov: saw internist who suspected cervical disk/nerve issue. MRI of neck showed only minor hypertrophy.
Nearly 12 weeks post trigger thumb/carpal tunnel surgery on primary hand, the thumb joint is enlarged and hand still feels tight. Pain in the region of the surgery and thumb when hand is utilized in a normal/usual pattern. Palm has some discoloration and remains tender. What would you recommend? Would an orthopedic physician be of any assistance?
Thank you.
Recently my right thumb has started popping out of joint and won't bend all the way straight. I had carpal tunnel surgery on this hand in April of this year (5 months ago) and this hand has been bothering me ever since. But this last problem is really painful and scary at times. Yesterday I almost couldn't get the thumb to go back into joint, but it finally did after a few minutes. What could be causing this? Also since surgery, there are larger bumbs(knots) under my skin (palm area).

Circulation problems like deep vein thrombosis, atherosclerosis too can these symptoms and can be diagnosed by dopplar studies.
I also tend to push on my thumb and pinkie in locked extended position with the use of a turbo mouse. The pain got so bad I thought I was going to have to give up my work in graphic design. I have tried everything except surgery. I did one Cortizone shot and it abated the pain for about 2-3 months. Hand massage and stretching helped a little. Took some meds, mainly for the inflammation, but was not interested in masking the pain.

I was at work on the computer about 4 days ago and had a slight tingling sensation in my right thumb (which is what I use to control the mouse). I noticed the inside part of my knuckel area on my right thumb went numb, about the size of a quarter. Four days later it is not quite as numb, but still feels wierd to the touch, like I got a shot of novacane. I have no pain. I am so very concerned that this could be an early sign of MS. This is my only symptom.
