Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
On my left hand, right below my thumb (palm side) down to my wrist hurts like I cant even describe. It s a very slow moving, coming-andgoing sort of pain. Sometimes I wont feel it for a fw minutes but then it ll come back with a huge wave of pain. Feels a little tight under the thumb. Help is greately appreciated, anything I can do to help the pain. I don t usually use sites like these but I need some advice on the pain, it s unmanagable.

Hi,
Pain at thumb to wrist seems to be carpal tunnel syndrome where median nerve gets impinged at wrist level. I will suggest you to do hot and cold therapy (do take a bowl of lukewarm water and another of cold water, dip your hand in hot water for three mins then dip in cold water for one mins. Do it 7-10 times). And do wrist active exercises, finger stretching, don't lift anything heavy and avoid overhead activities.
Hope you find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Harsh Swarup
