I have random shooting pain in my hand . Sometimes it is constant and consistent. It hurts so bad sometimes i can t use i and makes me cry out. It is below and between my thumb and index finger in the skin/ palm area more than fingers. I have had this in the past and it has gone away. But I have had it off and on for 5 days now. i thought it was overuse of a repetitive action but I haven used it much in the last few days in that way.
Hi Since you have pain at base of thumb, you are probably suffering from Trigger thumb or de quarries tenosynovitis. Both the pains increase on repetitive action. Take Pain Killers, do hot fomentation and apply local anti-inflammatory cream for few days. If no relief then it will be better to consult your orthopedic specialist.
