My thumbs are hurting bad...?!


Question: My thumbs are hurting bad....?
My job is physical. Well, 2 days ago at work, majority of the people didn't show up. I had to work my *** off. I had to break up a lot of boxes and pick up a lot of heavy items.

Today, my thumbs are killing me. It hurts to pick up a glass, move my fingers around, make a fist, etc.

I have to work tomorrow. What can I do to 'recover' by then.?

Thanks to everyone for answering. Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I would take anti inflamatories, but stretches will help too. Ask your doctor, masage therapist or look some hand exercises up on line and concentrate on hand, thumb & wrist stretches. Do them gently, three times a day.Health Question & Answer

Nothing. You strained your thumbs. You need time in order for them to recover. The best I can tell you is to take some Advil or aspirin for pain and try to go easy at work tomorrowHealth Question & Answer
