Joint btw thumb and palm gets super painful & swollen w tiniest effort. Started w thumb's severe accidental turn backwards. Pt unhelpful. What to do?
Splint. Wear a splint that comes over the thumb every night, & a shorter version during the day. Take over the counter anti-inflammatory medication, & if it doesn't improve see a doctor for a steroid shot.
