Hello, I fell a couple of months back. I braced my fall with my hands and injured my thumb. It was swollen and in pain. Went to the hospital where they did a xray and found no fractures or anything else wrong other than bruising. Now I m having a very sharp pain on top and around my bottom knuckle closest to the palm of my hand. I cant pick anything up with my thumb that weighs mire than a pound. Do you have any ideas that may be causing this pain?
You could be having ligament sprain. Keep the thumb in a splint. Get an MRI to rule out the injury. Apply warm packs to the painful regions. Do not lift weights. Consult a Hand surgeon.
