Thumb Ligaments

Sian said:

I think this is common is people of 40+ - I sometimes get terrible pain in my thumb and next two fingers and they go numb,Tony also - I blame it on carpel tunnel syndrome - but I am no doctor.   I am sure ten pin bowling must have something to do with it especially as you do it quite regularly.

I have a problem with the ligaments in my right thumb. When I grip things it sends tingle up to the tip of my thumb and the tip of my thumb also feels a little numb too.The sensation is a bit like the one you get when you bang your funny bone in your elbow. I think it was caused by tenpin bowling which I do several times a week. Can I do anything to stop it feeling like that?

Any thoughts?

Sorry to hijack a thread, any advice!. On sunday I had the start of tennis elbow in my left arm which ended up with a twang and a pulled muscle where my arm joins the armpit. It bloody hurts..

chicken curry no worry
