Numb thumb when writing following injury
My right thumb has been very numb, tingly, and very painful for the past few days. About 2 years ago I suffered from game keepers thumb in the same thumb from playing baseball and had to wear a cast for 2 months. No surgery was involved, but I did do physiotherapy after. It is very painful and I know it obviously must have something to do with the injury but every time I have to write something, it presses on the area and goes completely numb. What should I do?
