Relieve thumb joint pain
Are You Feeling “Thumbs Down” Recently?
Our beloved opposable thumb can often become our greatest ally; however, when joint pain arrives it can seriously set back our forward movement and lifestyle choices. Imagine offering up a handshake only for it to come back begging only to wilt away in pain before offering again later… But do not despair dear reader! Here are some truly exceptional solutions that may ease thumb joint discomfort!
Are You Willing to Let it Relax for a While? Your thumb doesn’t run marathons; like an overworked office employee, your thumb requires regular breaks too. Resting it can reduce inflammation and ease pain – though the prospect may seem difficult, we have seen stranger things happen than this!
While thumb wrestling championships might seem tempting, engaging in such activities could cause strain to your thumb joints and put unnecessary strain on them.
- Give it a Rest, Will You?
- You know, your thumb isn’t exactly a marathon runner. Like an overworked office employee, your thumb needs breaks too. Resting your thumb can help reduce the inflammation and ease the pain. Not using your thumb might sound as tricky as teaching a cat to fetch, but hey, we’ve seen stranger things happen.
- Thumb Wrestling, Maybe Not Today:
- Despite the temptation, engaging in intense thumb wrestling championships might not be the best for your aching digit. Avoid activities that can cause strain on the thumb joints.
- Ice, Ice Baby:
- Ice can be your thumb’s best buddy in the fight against pain and inflammation. It’s like sending your thumb on a little polar vacation, minus the penguins and igloos. Apply an ice pack to the sore area for 15 minutes, up to three times a day.
- The Splint Solution:
- Consider wearing a thumb splint. Not the most fashionable of accessories, we admit, but it provides support to your thumb, allowing it to rest and heal.
- Shake Hands with Pain Relief Ointments:
- They’re not as fancy as an enchanted healing potion, but topical creams and ointments can be effective in relieving thumb joint pain.
