Hello on been have a problum with my left thumb i have this horrid burning senctionfrom the bottom to the top of my thumb what can this be ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve or muscle: This burning sensation could be from an irritable/inflamed nerve or muscle. The latter would be affected more by motion and may be tender to touch. Avoid straining the thumb and if symptoms persist or if redness and swelling develop,see your Physician.
