What Causes Sharp Pain In Thumb And Wrist During Movement?

The base of my thumb aches at times, hurts on the back of wrist when I turn hand seems as though something moves over something in my wrist that is not natural and has a sharp pain. This has bothered me about 6 wks to 2 mo. I can tell it is getting gradually worse, not better as I had hoped.

Hi,

Thanks for your query.

From your description. It seems to be due to tendonitis. For healing it requires rest and avoid movements that causes further pain. As it getting worse, I suggest you to get a MRi done and consult an orthopaedician for proper examination and treatment.

Hope this helps you.
