Is Pain in the joint/ nerves of upper thumb area serious? - #10476
I have been experiencing pain in my thumb for a few weeks now, but I'm afraid to tell my parents because i just recently complained of scapular discomfort and i don't want to waste our money on something that i think is minor, but I'm not really sure if this is important or not. Some extra info: I use a keyboard with my left hand where my thumb is hurting, my right hand is fine, it only affects my thumb and the pain is concentrated on specifically the upper thumb area somewhere blow the skin. It started happening when my thumb felt slightly stiff so i tried toc rack it but it felt off, then the pain started, now moving my thumb sometimes results in a very weird feeling popping at the base.
