What is this muscle/bone called?

Question

the one that goes from your thumb to the wrist.

i think i pulled something, because for the past month or so it hurts to turn my wrist, like when opening doors or playing foozball, and it hurts to ball up my hand to make a fist.

Answer 1

if it's a bone it's probably one of your metacarpals. You probably just tripped and used your hand to break your fall. My best advice would be to RICE it. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Ibuprofen (Advil) works wonders with that kind of pain. If you can't take that, take Tylenol. Ice it every night for 15 minutes and use a compression bandage daily. If the pain doesn't go away for another week you should probably see a sports trainer.

Answer 2

I am sorry to hear that you are in pain! I think the bone is called the schaphoid bone but i don't know the name of the muscle. I think you should go to the doctor because an injury to that bone can s***w up your whole hand function and it is also a slow heeling bone! good luck!

Answer 3

well, it could be possible that you sprained/bruised one of your carpals or the carpal muscles [[located in the wrist area]].

but, if it's been hurting like that for a long time you might want to go get it checked out. You might have tendinitis or a sprain.

Answer 4

Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus

Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis

Answer 5

I've had something like that before but it was my whole wrist and not being able to lift anything heavy. It's called "carpal tunnel syndrome" and maybe you should check it out. I hope your hands get better. :)  

Answer 6

thoes are your carpals you could have carpal tunnel syndrome....ppl who type a lot usually get it...its caused by a repeated motion in your hand and wrist that strains the wrist...i'd get it checked out, but it most likely will go away, you could try putting on a splint to keep it still

Answer 7

It's the abductor pollicis brevis and the opponens pollicis muscles

Answer 8

I hurt my foot running and it didn't feel that bad so I kept running on it....I finally went to the Dr and he said I broke a bone in foot-maybe get it checked out now before it get s worse.
