my trapezium bone? sm
Subject: my trapezium bone? sm
My left hand is hurting in that big, round, fatty area below my thumb. I've had carpal tunnel symptoms before, and they've gone away when I make ergonomic changes, but lately it's not in the wrist so much but in that fatty part under the thumb. I can't tell if it's the bone itself that hurts or the tissue that hurts, or both. It's sore in the scaphoid and lunate bones, but much less so than the trapezium area. Is this a problem related to carpal tunnel? If not, then I remember about 6 months ago getting a sliver or something like that stuck in that area and I'm wondering if it could be from that. There's no redness or an entry wound at all.
I'm getting my bone references from: http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/hand/awrist.htm
It's not bad enough to run to the doctor, but it sure is annoying as an MT! I really appreciate your opinions or experiences.
