Common Questions and Answers about Thumb pain guitar

Avatar m tn About a month ago I was using a spray can to put a coat of clear gloss on a wooden table... After holding down the spray can for some time with my left thumb, i noticed that when i stopped, there was a very severe case of what one may call numbness, others may call super sensitivity from the pad to the tip of my left thumb. I expected it to go away after a few minutes, but lingered for almost a day.
Avatar m tn I started to notice when I straighten my right elbow, fingers out, and twist so the palm is up, I feel pretty bad pain in the inside (thumb side) of the wrist. (the same pain happens when I just pinch the thumb and fingers and straighten) I also noticed if i massage the base of my bicep near the elbow, I can send a shooting feeling up to that same pain location. I had no numbness in any of my fingers, but the pain was getting worse, so I took it to an orthopedic specialist.
Avatar m tn I'm a musician. I play guitar and cello. Now, I've played guitar long enough where I over time developed calluses on my finger tips. However, now for cello I need a callus on the side of my thumb for a certain technique but I don't have time to develop it for weeks or months. If I regularly cut away at my thumb with a razor or something will a callus still build by means of artificial friction ?
Avatar m tn 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.
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 n tn Jay, I had a shot in my thumb (guitar player) a few years ago and it worked for many months. Is this the chronic pain problem you have had before?
Avatar m tn ) and I am just curious as to what this weird bump on my hand near my thumb is too when I stretch out my thumb, anyways here is a link to pics of my hands any help would be greatly appreciated thank you. http://s1189.photobucket.
736040 tn?1257436457 it sounds like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to me. Do the pops feel like someone pulled and let go of a guitar string? not sure if that makes sense but I get that sensation. Also, if you tap on the inside of your srist, almost the heel of your hand (by the palm) and pain shoots into your middle finger & first finger & thumb, there is a good chance that it's CTS. that is a test they do for CTS.
1454009 tn?1285191093 ve noticed the higher weights I get into, I get a sharp pain into my right wrist once I release the weights. the pain is on the top and bottom of the left side of my wrist. I have this problem whenever i put any stress on it like barbell curls and preacher curls. I used to get the pain farther up right around the middle of the forearm but now it has moved to the wrist area. the injury occured 3 weeks ago when i was maxing out on incline bench press.

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 f tn Pain is random, thumb joint, arm incision, and general soreness. trade off is 2-3 months of pain for 15-20 yrs pain free. i have a low pain tolerance but "mild discomfort" was a gross understatement of the actual pain. i found sleeping easier with my arm propped up with pillows. if you are going to elect this surgery buy a good arm sling from amazon as the sling you'll be given will be uncomfortable and keeping your arm in a sling will be a big help.
Avatar f tn I am 13 and I have the same with my thumb not bending and unusually thin and it is a bit weaker but just in my right thumb. I had x-rays when I was younger and I don't remember anything about the problem except that I was just born missing a few bones. I have no problems except some people have asked me what is wrong with it and I just said nothing. It is weaker than a normal thumb and I can't do things like hold a bowling ball so I have to do it with two hands.
