My thumb cracks greatly, hurts, and is for a while swelled compared to my other. Is it Arthritis?
Its done it for a year or two. Doesn't bother me to much. Sometimes it does ache. I can go a couple days lacking it cracking, then it comes back.
Answer: Could be that or you could own tendinitis in your thumb. Go to walmart and buy a thumb brace. When your thumb starts to ache and swell wear it for a couple of days and you will start to see an development. I wore the brace on my thumb when my thumb started to swell and hurt and after a few weeks of wearing it, it doesn't bother me anymore. I hope this helps and good luck!.
Sounds as tho it could be arthritis. Here are two design for you with natural therapy that I have found very effectual
1 get some ginger tablets usually sold as travel calm or nausea nouns or similar and take 2 per day
2 Take 1000 mg of non sharp vitamin c each day - sometimes sold as ester C
Also taking 1500 mg of glucosamine sulphate may assistance too
