Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I had what I thought was a bit midway between my elbow and wrist. I suffered severe swelling in the thumb and inflamation in thumb and the veins were distended. Treated with two lots of keflex subsided but not completely about a week ago pain is back again although not as severe as is swelling also not as severe
I think if you have tried a self medication it is never advisable. kindly meet a physician close by and get it chekced. Mean time you can try contrast bath starting with hot water and ending with hot water. Try performing some small finger strengthening exercises by using a tennis ball for strengthening the thumb muscles. you should be fine if done properly.
