Thumb pain gripping

Common Questions and Answers about Thumb pain gripping

finger

Avatar f tn Lately while cutting hair my ring finger ( on either hand) cramps (spasms) making it extremely hard to continue the cut . This also happens often while driving and gripping the steering wheel .Sometimes the cramping will go up to my forarm . I also have occasions where my thumb will become locked in toward my hand and I can not straighten it without pulling it with the other hand. My dr. said it was arthritis and to take advil or aleve . But that does not always keep it from happening.
Avatar f tn During a snowboarding accident i landed on my hand where my thumb was caught and pulled, i felt / heard a 'pop'. went to hospital and x-ray showed no break but was told i had torn my ulnar collateral ligament around my thumb. Its been a week since the injury and the swelling hasn't gone down at all also i'm having trouble gripping and the joint feels really unstably and loose but the doctor says there nothing to do about it but leave it.
Avatar f tn I can see something jumping up and down. Other times my thumb twitches. I get burning pain on top of my thumb etc. This is all new. The physiotherapist said something must be going on and he figures I will need another elbow surgery. I am unable to see the surgeon earlier because she is away. My next appt with her is in a few weeks time so I suppose I can hold off.
Avatar m tn As I was typing on my computer I noticed that my right thumb was shaking and it got me worried. It only shakes if I bend it at a 90degree angle but it is still very worrisome. About 3 hours ago I did scrub the bathtub and I thought that might have something to do with it but it has not stopped shaking in 3 hours.
Avatar f tn I had horrible pain in my bottom knuckle on my thumb, and now the knuckles in my middle and ring finger are hurting. I'm sorry for such a long post, but I'm really hoping someone might have some advice. I'm a single mother and I don't have insurance so I can't afford to go to a doctor. Are there any home remedies that might help? Any advice that I could get would be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty desperate. Thank you so much for reading if you made it this far!
Avatar n tn However, tonight while I was holding a piece of paper in my hand with my thumb and middle finger, my middle finger just started twitching uncontrollably. It only happened when I was barely trying to grip it, when I gripped the paper tighter it went away. So over the past couple years to compensate, like if I'm holding paper, I'll just situate it in my hand without gripping it and let it sit there, or I'll grip it tight so it won't twitch.
Avatar f tn Hello Kevin AP With the information that you have given me i do not think that the artery in the palm between your wrist and thumb is anything to be concerned about. If you continue to have pain, start to notice weakness and swelling then i think it will be important to have this looked at. However with you being a skinny person and able to see other veins on your body i think this is nothing to be concerned about at the present time.
Avatar n tn Hello Dear, What is the exact side of the pain in the hand? Is it the wrist which is affected? Did you sleep on the dependant position which pressure on your hand? If your wrist is involved then probably you might be having symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) or median neuropathy at the wrist is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, leading to pain, paresthesias, and muscle weakness in the forearm and hand.
Avatar f tn m not sure if this is where I should be posting this question, but figured I would try... I have been having some pain in my wrist and hand - kind of in the fat area where my thumb is. There's a vein in there that will sometimes seem swollen and it hurts if I push on it. (I can feel and see my pulse in it, it's gross!) A friend of mine said that the vein thing could be because of inflammation in my wrist. I've had soreness in the past but that was more on the top of my wrist.
3173096 tn?1344204216 My right elbow has been hurting for a few months, inner bone, no swelling noticed, no arm or wrist pain, no elbow pain when flexing fingers or gripping....now my left elbow is hurting the same way. and if I bump this inner bone, wow it really hurts... I am 52 yr old woman, physically fit, run 25+ miles a week, I do a small routine of weights, push ups,stretches, lunges daily, I am a vet tech, so I wrestle with pets all day, do some computer work, but not a lot...
Avatar f tn m getting the run around. The neck pain I have lived with for years but the shoulder and gripping pain in my upper arm is really ugly. My shoulder hurts when I move it but the gripping pain around my upper arm (about half way between shoulder and elbow) feels live a red hot band squeezing my arm. It causes me to double over in pain and I have very little use of my left arm on most days. The hydrocodone does little to ease the pain.
Avatar f tn Bouts of thenar pain, pulsating sensations, twitching, weak grip and acknowledged „shrinkage“ of the muscle between my thumb and index finger, and on my thumb joint itself, by two doctors (one neuro and my primary care). A Ganglion cyst was found and will be removed. It is not clear to the Hand surgeon if the cyst is causing the weakness. Since Feb, I can still use my Hand totally normal except for gripping and that part has waxed and waned.
Avatar n tn I have numbness in my right arm 50% of the time and I am having trouble gripping things with my right hand especially between my thumb and index finger. I have pain in my left shoulder blade and neck. I have trouble turning my neck to the left when I do there is pulling all down in my shoulder blade area. I also have bladder problems with urgency and have to strain at times I take Detrol for this.
Avatar m tn This isnt the first time the pain comes, if i throw anything before i started playing tennis, the pain comes also and its quite severe if i keep throwing or playing. Not sure what it is. Please help.
Avatar m tn If I want move my thumb, my forefinger is moving too. Even spreading and back is hard. I am making 2-3 times a week Occupational therapy but since summer 2013 I see no change. Maybe you can help me and give me some therapy hints.
975514 tn?1324997938 One time recently, I had such a hard time with gripping and pain that I dropped a hot curling iron on my face while doing my hair. I burnt my face so bad everyone at work thought my husband beat me up. It was embarrassing. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyaglia. I once had a doctor try to say it was caused from my neck, but an MRI only showed minor bulges in my neck.
Avatar m tn movements appear to last a short time and are slow in pulse but go away when I move the bodypart that is having (fasiculations?). Unrelated but I have also been experience pain/aches in these muscles for no reason. Concerningly, I've been getting new strange muscle movements these past few months. One of them is more like a quick pulse of movement that lasts less than a second and the other appears to move my left hand (often near the thumb) enough to move my fingers ever so slightly.
Avatar n tn i am getting a gripping /stabbing pain just under my chest left side its there even when i breath i do feel lathelgic ..... should i go to see my g.
903476 tn?1242237037 Very helpful thank you, I did go see a doctor and shes 99% sure it's tendonitis and this is just the first time it has ever become inflamed. She has has sent me for X-rays I will be getting tomorrow and she wants me to see a physiotherapist. She wont tell me 100% till she runs more tests but between the ice and heat sand of course the Tylenol the pain is gone but now I'm feeling pain in my left thumb.
Avatar f tn I have done the carpel tunnel wrist test positions that my general prac taught me when I was having neuropathy and urgent care tried to say it wa carpel tunnel. Anyways long story short, no pain when I do this position. Only pain when pressure is applied. I did nothing to injury it and I'm right handed so I'm unsure what to think of it. The only thing that is different is that i have been sick with a flu bug that turned into a cold. I don't have a fever anymore just congestion.
Avatar m tn My thumb is not bruised or swollen but I have shooting pain when I bend it. I can bend it all the way but it shoots pain and it hurts in between the two joints. I have tried icing and wrapping it but nothing has helped and it has been nine days. My hand is also very cold but like I said before it is not bruised or swollen.
Avatar n tn I was pulling open my cars jammed ashtray, it was stuck so I pulled harder and my 2 fingers....
