Numb Thumb

[weecalf]

While doing some lifting I hit the top of my wrist quite hard .The pain was quite severe but only last say 30 seconds ..After a few days bruise appears .So I toddles of to A&E got it xrayed .Nothing broke .I do not have pain moving wrist but the fleshy part of the thumb is numb and when I do touch the area which got hurt its quite panful.Now as I type this just wee seconds of numbness comes in to arm like as if the blood supply was being cut of its like that sensation a coldness. Any idea

[Sqad]

Yes..

The median nerve enters the hand and supplies sensation to various digits, one of which is the thumb. The injury traumatised a branch of that nerve to the thumb and it is now recovering (neuropraxia)

No big deal, it will settle.

Thanks .Taking anti inflam. tablets and wearing wrist support should do trick then .

[Sqad]

Certainly should.
