But that ill-defined area called, mostly, the base of the thumb ie the fleshy part of the palm below the thumb itself, has been stiff for a few days. Today the left hand Whatever went ballistic at me. Opening, closing, picking up kids- stabs of pain. My super gout-painkillers had no effect. Went to the local pharmacy on my fifteen minute break and bought heat wraps for hips (all they had) and mummy wrapped my wrist and arm in their yardage, with the supposed heat-providing patch around the base. Barely helpful, but eventually took enough gout pills to ease even that inflammation, and at home swathed me in Robax's superior heat cell wraps. Am almost comfortable. No idea what it is, of course- arthritis, carpal tunnel, tendinitis- but have come across acupressure points on line that are supposed to ease all three, so doubtless my acupuncturist can provide the same relief.
