Skier's Thumb

2017-05-30 20:07:53
Hi, I've been experiencing constant pain in my right thumb for 6 months now. It's been on and off since December 2016. The thumb has gone numb 2 times since then due to putting excess weight on it. The pain is now moving towards my wrist and index finger. I've tried researching in it and a skier's thumb is what I got to know. It increases during the week as I'm working on the computer and goes away when it's given rest during the weekend. Anyway, I need help with this situation. Any resting advice until I go see an orthopedic? Thanks. Prakriti Khilnani

It is better to show orthopedic surgeon near by you.Till then you can use icepack locally and thumb spika split, avoid putting weight on it . Better to consult doctor near by you
