I've Managed to Sprain My Hand

United States
May 31, 2026 8:35am CST
It was about 2 am when I sat up then used my hands to push myself up off of the bed to go to the bathroom. As soon as I pushed with my right hand, it immediately hurt. This morning it is very painful in the fatty area under the thumb down to the palm. Certain motions and movements of my hand cause it to hurt. I don't know it it's a sprain or a break but I'll deal with it unless/until it starts being too difficult. Hubby is opening my medicine bottles for me.

I feel for you. I did that months ago, and my left hand, below the thumb area, is still very sensitive. Isn't aging fun--they did not teach us all of this back in health class did they?

My husband says, "If I'd have known I'd live this long, I would have taken better care of myself"

It does sound like a bad sprain.

Put cold/ice packs. Observe if there will be bruise that can indicate a break. Hopefully not.
