http://carpaltunnelmaster.com .. It's getting to be a common problem - pain in the thumb from text messaging. Video shows what to do about it. Some people say the base of the thumb feels swollen or bruised or just plain sore. You may also feel it in the forearm.

  • psp thumb

  • This video might help me. thank you very much for ur help

  • I'm sorry but too much info and not enough directions on how to actually fix it. just saying...

  • @99joey1 You're welcome.

  • @DiscomfortFree oh kk thanks any way i appreciatiate the help that you have already given me so thank you

  • @99joey1 I do not know because I am a massage therapist and only deal with muscle problems. So I would hate to take a guess. Sorry I can't be of help.

  • @DiscomfortFree kk thanks but i don't know but every time i move my thumb it makes a clicking sound, is this really bad, can it be cured

  • I get this pain from playing video games. It hurts like hell sometimes.

  • @99joey1 There are a couple possible causes. One is tight scalene muscles. I have a video on that called "Numb Fingers from Tight Scalene Muscles - Part 1" so I look at that. Another possibility is tight forearm muscles. Press firmly on the thumb side of your forearm. Go the entire way from the wrist to the elbow. See if there are very tender spots. Check a muscle on the palm side of the forearm about 2 inches from elbow crease called pronator teres. (google it)

    Massage firmly if tender

  • @DiscomfortFree Kk thanks for that but one thing that i am worryed about is that with my thumb, even when i just leave it and don't touch anything it does not hurt but it feels like i have pins and neddles in my thumb as i keep geting a tingling feeling in my thumb. What does this mean and is it bad and it also feels like it is stiff. This scares me as i get in even when i don't touch anything but it doesn't really hurt it just feels stiff.
