Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My right thumb won't bend if I bend it, it hurts really bad. I just had a baby on may 5 th. my obg said I had carpal tunnel but she said has nothing to do with the thumb. Should I bend my thumb even if it hurts? I'm scared if I don't bend it will stay stuck and stiff
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern looking to the given history here I could say that this is not the carpel tunnel syndrome but this could be swelling of small joint may not be having any specific reason you better see the physiotherapist wax bath some time gives very good result, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
