On my right hand. If the thumb is moved to the left, it actually almost goes out of the socket. This started a week after my c section and is gradually worsening. The entire wrist is painful but the thumb area is where the grinding feeling is.
Aches in my left arm for two months. It comes and goes. It is usually in my forearm/wrist. It is not very painful, more like discomfort. I feel shooting pains in my index and thumb too (rarely). Blood/urine test are completely fine. What could it be?
