How do you treat a repetitive stress thumb injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First thing: The first thing to do is stop doing whatever you're doing that led to the stress injury. For many in this culture, it could be texting, online gaming, etc but there are many other possibilities too. See your doctor for an exam and more specific recommendations.
