How To Treat The Pain Of My Left Hand?
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
