Thumb pain

Tweet

Some days my body seems to hate me! Today it's my thumb. Seems minor, and I'm sure the problem is. But when you have pain in one spot, you really learn how often you use that part! And I use this thumb all the time! ouch! It began yesterday. I thought I had an ingrown nail, so I trimmed it (although it wasn't very long at all) and filed it straight across. I've run into this problem with my big toe nails from time to time, so I know the drill. After a few hours, the pain persisted. I took an Advil and tried to ignore it. Even holding my book made it hurt a bit, so that was a problem. A stupid problem but a problem nonetheless! lol When I woke up today, I noticed that the pad of my thumb hurts when I touch it (I know, don't touch it). lol The skin looks fine so I'm assuming it's some kind of nerve problem. There are times when it really kills and other times when it's not so bad. Making dinner was fun...not! What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Let's see what this thumb pain can do for me. :D -Claudia- image from Pixabay
