A member asked:
I play tennis and the muscle under my thumb is always sore after practice. do you have a diagnosis and a way that i can ease the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thumb Pain: The soreness in the muscle is probably from tendonitis as a result of overuse. The repetitive motion used with your tennis stroke is the cause. You might try wrapping it and ibuprofen. Icing it after tennis may help. You might try a softer racquet grip as well.
