Hello again. My name is Lisa. I have an old injury, unreported work injury that has caused me a nerve problem in one finger. Sounds small I know. But one finger is taking my quality of life. It causes so much pain. One day it may cause me a heart attack. I use CBD oil. That soothes it. I used to wrap my fingers. Then wrapped my hand. I have moved that wrap up now this is after years fyi...now I wrap up to my elbow-arm pit. Somehow it relieves my finger almost completely. Until last night I was making a meatloaf and was crumbling crackers in both hand and it just sent me to the moon in pain. The whole hand burned and I have been having almost non stop burning in my finger. My hand is warm. I just dunno. I am last to get help because I am a care giver. This will stop me from getting help today as well. Thought I would share.:(

Good morning @lisash, it sounds like this thumb of yours is now making your life a bit miserable. Have you been to an urgent care facility? I found them very helpful s couple of times.
How did the injury happen? Please describe. It is difficult to help when I don’t have enough information.
May you have relief from your pain.today. Chris
@lisash That has to hurt and trying to work as a caretaker with it ouch . Have you seen your Dr? or neurologist? That maybe a good place to ask about this

Hey, good to get it off your chest. Definitely neuropathy. It made me so mad the first time I could not open a bottle top or stir the brownie batter. Needed my daughter to do it for me. The 1st of everything is quite scary! From my experience...it comes, it goes, comes back again and trades body parts. Crazy!!! Hang in there. It's a daily undertaking and I wish you the best.
