What is going on with my thumb?

Question

I'm 16 years old. For the last three weeks i've had trouble with my thumb. It keeps going stiff and like it gets stuck (but i can still move it). When i hold it up normally, it is bent. It hurts sometimes when it feels asthough it gets stuck. It has been irritating me. I'm going to see a doctor but does anyone know what this could be?

Answer 1

It could be DeQuervain's or tenosynovitis.

Answer 2

tendonitis ,

Answer 3

My daughter broke her arm and after it was all healed she had problems like this because the surgeon stuck a pin through a tendon that runs up her arm.

If you haven't had surgery then it might just be a pulled tendon.  It runs from your elbow to your wrist and controls the thumb.

Seeing a doctor is the best idea.

Good Luck
