A member asked:
Why does it feel like it's catching in the area at the base of the thumb to the wrist. dr said arthritis and gave steroid shot. that helped the everyday pain but not the pain when using my hand. now it's taking to feeling like it catches periodically?

Tenosynovitis: You could be developing a tendon or tendon sheath problem where the tendon rubs against the sheath and can form cysts, scarring and certainly pain. Ice and/or moist heat, topical capsaicin or voltaren and splinting your wrist helps;if not see your doc
