How can I get rid of a pain in my hand?

It makes simple things like opening doors and writing very painful. I keep using my left hand for everything because my right is all messed up. I know it's not arthiritis because I'm not old. If any pressure is put on my right thumb, it will hurt and send this pain down my hand towards my palm area. I hurts the worst on the side of my hand. I can't tell if it's muscle or bone hurting. It could be both. It hurts to flaten my hand on a flat surface. It isn't swollen, which is a good sign.

My hand had this issue about a month ago but it went away after a few days. I just woke up with it one morning. I'm hoping it will go away this time . I will try to see a doctor if it won't go away or gets worse. I just want to know what ya'll would say.

What could have caused my hand to get hurt and sore and how can I help it??

    hey, yes i guess you are right it is not arthritis because you said it hurts in the palm area, arthritis appeared with to joints contracted, and it will be swelling if it is arthritis, this might be the cause: you slept in your palm, stress, or you carry something you don't you used to carry..

    I suggest you may see a doctor as soon as possible.

    It sounds as if you are getting some arthritic pain. Arthritis, much to our surprise, affects young as well as old people.

    Do you notice it becomes worse when the weather changes (becomes damp, for instance?) Take a couple of Advil when the pain starts and try using a heating pad or hot compress for 20 minutes.

    If you do not believe it is arthritic perhaps it is overuse of your hand when using the mouse? Advil and a heat compress will also work.

    Good luck and Merry, Merry.

    It could indeed be arthritis since not just the old are affected.

    You can try over the counter pain medication (Tylenol) to releive the pain, but a doctor should be consulted since it could be a sign of more serious condition.

    It sounds like carpal tunnel to me. You should watch your hand position while typing, get a brace or one of those fancy wrist rests.

    I once got carpal tunnel playing guitar, so just be careful how you are using your finger and hand muscles.

    I don't know what is wrong with your hand BUT you can get arthritis at any age. It is more common for older folks but anyone can get it.

    If the pain persists see a doctor.
