Question 1

i cut my thum a it's deep and its numb is that normal it's been numb for 2 hours?

Accepted Answer

Numb thumb: The numb thumb may indicate that you have cut a nerve or a tendon. See a hand surgeon for help.

Question 2

when i put small pressure on my right nd left jaws with thum in exactly same area one left jaw pain but right dont.whithout putting pressure it dont pain. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

: Has any part of your jawbone been hurting without pressing on it? Do you have a toothache? Do both sides otherwise feel the same apart from the tender spot or do you feel any lump or deformity? If the answers are "no", there is probably no jaw pathology. If you still have concerns get examined by a physician or oral surgeon.

Question 3

hi i have sharp shoting pain in my right hand starting from my rist and going all over my thum and finger next to it what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Carpal tunnel: Your right hand median nerve is under pressure by ligaments in the carpal tunnel. See an orthopedic surgeon for a work up . In the mean time wear a wrist brace and take otc nsaid .

Question 4

name of bones in wrist bone under middle figer at end of thum in wrist sticking out could it be broke and what is its name can you help me please thank you

Accepted Answer

"Could : "could it be broke".  Did you fall or otherwise have a high-energy injury?  If not then, no it cannot be broken.

If it feels broken, that is probably a misinterpretation of the pain.  Pain always triggers and sets off our "safety system", making us feels protective and causing us to prepare for the worst ("it feels broken").

It's interesting that you want a name.  Humans crave control and i assume you feel that if you could name the painful bone that you could feel a soothing sense of control.

I suggest that a visit to a hand surgeon is in order.  He or she will likely tell you several things you are not expecting to hear.  Even though most or all of them will be good news, just the fact that they are unexpected or counter-intuitive can make them a little unwelcome, so prepare yourself.  Be ready for the "safety system" to have called "fire" when there is just smoke.  Be prepared for something you find convincing ("it's broke") to be incorrect.

Question 5

whenever i over work my hand like using a hammer for a couple of minutes or grabbing something i have a pain sort of like cramp palm side all around thum?

Accepted Answer

Carpal tunnel or...: It is possible that you may have carpal tunnel syndrome or early arthritis at the base of the thumb. It's also very possible that muscle fatigue because you normally don't use that muscle much and suddenly you force that muscle into working hard, it can be easily fatigued due to lack of conditioning. If resting quickly resolves the symptom, likely muscle fatigue. If worsens, consult doc. Good luck.

Question 6

previous hand fx 2 yrs ago no new injury severe thum pain palmar swelling can not open or grasp touching little finger to thumb hurts  what the heck?

Accepted Answer

Arthritis of thumb?: Can't be for sure what you have, but possibly some arthritis at the base of the thumb, especially if you use your hand/thumb a lot etc... If symptom has been ongoing and worsening for awhile, this is likely. If symptom comes on rather fast over couple of days, it could be gout--this can be very painful. Motrin/aleve may help. Consult doc asap. Good luck and happy new year.

Question 7

my bones hate me. one knee femur is longer. ribs make it hard to get much air. forehead skull bones are projecting. one shoulders higher. ear and thum?

Accepted Answer

Get Ortho consult: For someone with many question about bones, getting an Ortho consult would be a good idea. They may provide a genetic referral to see if you fit into one of the inherited bone diseases, which can provide the explanation to your quarries. Good luck☺️

Question 8

thats about it?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: Your symptoms are nonspecific. If you have persistent abdominal pain, especially with associated tenderness, you should be examined promptly, preferably in the hospital emergency room. The physician will take a thorough history and system review, perform an examination and order any appropriate tests in order to make a diagnosis. However if symptoms are mild and not persistent, see your MD.

Question 9

xo is that turners?

Accepted Answer

45, XO: This genetic result is compatible with turner's syndrome. However, there are many genetic variations for turner's.

Question 10

that's all for now.

Accepted Answer

Get treated: I agree that you most likely have a lower urinary tract bacterial infection, possibly in the bladder, prostate gland or urethra. After submitting a clean catch urine culture and colony count, which may take 48 hours for results, I recommend getting started on  antibiotics (which can be changed if needed)without waiting for results of the culture. Go to the emergency room for prompt attention.
