A member asked:
I have a light industrial job that requires me to constantly use my hands. my right thumb has been numb for four days now nonstop. is this temporary?

Could be multiple: Things, but the first thing that comes to mind for me is carpal tunnel syndrome. It would be hard to tell without more history and exam, but that could be it. May need brace, stretching exercises, change of duty at work. Hope that helps.
