Well, thanks to my own stupidity, about a week before Christmas, I tripped and fell on concrete pavement. I had what is known in the realm of safety and accident prevention as a "good fall" - that is to say, I landed on all fours. My right knee developed a tiny spot of sensitivity when I have to kneel down on the floor, but that has healed nicely in the past couple of weeks. My left hand - not so much, and that's what I need some advice on.

Good Monday morning, everyone. Happy New Year's and I hope you are doing well. :D

On this map of a left hand, here is where I hurt mine. The impact of me falling sprained that big muscle at the bottom of your hand that controls your thumb. I've kept it on ice, and I bought one of thost $13 velcro thumb support gloves (ouch! again :rolleyes: ), although it did help. But I still have some mild pain. Is there anything I can do other than ice and wearing the glove that will help make the pain go away?

Disclosure >> by profession, I'm an overnight stocker for a retail store, so my job requires me to use my hand - hurt or not, so I need it. The glove has helped a great deal with that, even though it was quite pricey.

Thanks. ..|

^^ How'd you know?! /busted... Yeah, it actually has affected that, too. /facepalm...
 
Was the hand xrayed after you fell?
 
^^ Unfortunately no. I already have two doctor bills hanging over my head - I didn't want a third. But around here there are these neighborhood emergency rooms that treat all sorts of non-life-threatening emergencies. I might call them and see how much they would charge for a simple hand x-ray.
 
My mom slipped and "sprained" her hand in the same spot. Turns out she broke her scaphoid. Go get it xrayed.

That's what I'm suspecting. Muscle injuries tend to resolve quicker than tendon/ligament/bone injuries. If you're still having pain after two weeks to the point that you're wearing a hand brace, an x-ray to rule out fracture is a good idea.
 
Keep the usage low on that hand and try to put as little pressure on it as possible.
