in 1980 I cut into my left thumb & had to have microsurgery on it....no problems till last Friday , I was vacuuming out the pool & felt something "pop" in my left thumb. It hurt clear down to my elbow  , now I can not move my thumb , so yesterday I went to see my regular doctor & she sent me to a hand specialist  & now they say I'm going to need additional surgery on my hand & thumb.......after all these years  it's hard to believe this could happen . I have  garage sale planned for this week-end so the surgery will have to wait till the following week . My hubby thinks I'm nuts , but I put the ad in the paper & posted signs every where , so the sale MUST go on .I can put a splint or bandage on my thumb  & it will be okay , I hope. 4951

@WJo: If it's not supposed to move, wrap it with duct tape. If it's supposed to move, use WD40. 4951

I'm having trouble with my left hand. I'm thinking Carpal Tunnel... But I'm right handed...  I think I will go to a hand doctor I was referred to down in the Medical Center. The other night it was not only numb & tingling but it hurt like a mother...  Thank gawd it was a weekend night it keep me up from 2-6 am.  4951

so I saw the hand surgeon yesterday & I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday , at least I get to have my garage sale ( HOORAY ! ) I taped my thumb to my hand so it would not move & the doctor took it off  & told me  unless I liked it taped to my hand it was not necessary (LOL)  so today I'm just being very careful  not to bump it on anything. The doctor called it  a "trigger thumb" 3rd degree . The tendon has a swollen  place that is blocking it from moving thru some passage in my thumb , I didn't really understand most of what he said  except I need surgery  before it will get better . I'm having "Michael Jackson's" choice drug for my surgery ...diptofran ( not sure about the spelling ) but the doctor assured me they would be very careful & monitor me  when it is given . .hope the surgery goes well & I get full use of my thumb back once this is over. 4951

@Jake_Bob...thanks ....I'm just anxious to get it over with & get my thumb back to where it works ....only having one thumb that works & doesn't hurt is not my "cup of tea". 4951
