Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Thumb Joint
I had a cortisone shot in my right thumb a year ago for pain and joint problems from being a server at a restaurant carrying food trays and now working in a place where I must lift large baking sheets and my thumb is in pain again and my thumb goes out of joint. Is there any cure for this?Should I wear a brace for it while sleeping?
