In this video, I'll show you where Mommy Thumb is found in the hand and wrist. I'll show you the anatomy on Google Body, and show you a quick tip on how to decrease your pain from this problem without surgery or seeing a doctor.

Mommy Thumb is very common in new mothers who lift their babies dozens of times per day. Severe pain on the thumb side of the wrist could be Mommy Thumb, also known as DeQuervain's tenosynovitis, or tendonitis.

I've written a detailed article on my website - check it out at http://www.noelhenley.com/mommy-thumb

Thank you... I'm a new mom and woke up with mommy thumb four days ago.. Panic sets in when you feel like you can't hold your newborn or may drop her. Thanks for the info.

@Sanaven: You're welcome! Mommy thumb is a common problem - not just for mommies, either - I've seen some tough guys with this problem in the past several months, too!
