How To Treat Broken Thumb?
I needed surgery on a broken thumb and there was a struggle to find a vein to insert a canula in the back of of my hand. I was told it might result in phlebitis. I am now (3 years later) having pains in that hand. Is it related? What can I do to relieve the pain? Kindest regards Heather

Hope this msg finds u in good health.
i have gone through your complaints and under stand your concern.
i feel its nothing to do with phlebitis of vein because such pains occur immediately after surgery.
u might be having some sort of nerve pain which can be relieved with analgesics. .hot fomentation and rest.
Hope your question has been answered. if u have any follow up queries, feel free to consult me anytime.
thanks Take care god bless
