A few hours ago I started feeling immense pain in my thumb joint at my wrist and has gotten progressively more painful traveling up my arm. Now my arm is ice cold up to my elbow. I don t recall doing anything to it. It feels like a sprain and I can not use my thumb. Pain wrist is worsening and arm is wrapped in blanket but cold inside and cold to touch. What could I have done to cause this.?I am female, 50 yrs. thanks very much
Could be a cervical problem at C5/6or C4/5have a cervical x-ray or MRI also check for color changes (blue)any color change indicates a vascular problem which means rush to er Good Luck
