A member asked:
I have a large lump in the base of my thumb because recently i was in a sporting event and ending up spraining it. why is there a lump in the base of my thumb?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
With severe "sprains" of any joint, ligament damage may occur, and inflammatory tissue can result, giving rise to the "lump" described. This can take several weeks or longer to resolve, so have a hand surgeon exam, and recommend any potential treatment.
