I went to the doctor last Wednesday because I have been having pain in my left hand for the past week or so. The pain was aching even when I was not using my hand. Eventually I experienced a burning sensation, followed by my left thumb catching when it is moved. The doctor and I aren't exactly sure what it is right now...but I think that it may be trigger finger...a condition where the thumb locks into a bent position much like the trigger of a gun. I have to wear a splint on it for a few weeks, and was told not to use it that often. I must say that is hard to do since I am a dentist and a mommy! But I have managed so far. Hopefully it will get better soon! I trust that the good Lord will look after me!
