Flicky thumbs. Result!,,,

[Diddydriver]

Thankyou to all that replyed to me. I am pleased to say because of your valuable input I went to my gp this morning, and without hesitation he injected both of my thumbs ( after being told off for waiting too long ) . Time will tell wether it will be successful or not but I am hopeful. Thanks everyone what a fabulous group of people you all are.

RESULT! well done Diddydriver...... I presume the pain disappeared immediately?

It's now anyone's guess if it will happen again.

I have gone years between episodes.....hope you are the same.

My thumbs are very stiff and joint won't move at all, but thumbs are straight, I'm hoping after a couple of days it will resolve it self.

[AgedCrone in reply to Diddydriver]

If your thumb doesn't become mobile in24hrs, keep trying to mobilise it.....if no luck go back to your GP. I last had it about ten months ago .& my doctor wiggled my finger straight away & it was normal the next day.

Ask to be referred to a hand specialist ...GP's can get it wrong.

Thanks, will try to wriggle it and see what happens.

I had a similar problem with my ring finger, it took a few weeks for my finger to be completely ok, now I have no problems with it. Do keep wiggling though!
