What does a knot on the palm below the thumb indicate?
Patient: I have a knot on the palm side of my left hand (which i use to write with) that is right below my thumb. I have read the symptoms of carpal tunnel but i didnt see anything about it including knots. Is this something that should be seen by a doctor? My hand throbs in my thumb and wrist. Doctor: Hello,You may have a condition called TRIGGER FINGER which is a small nodule below your thumb. It's commonly seen in people with overuse of hand and fingers. It's nothing to worry about. I would suggest you to visit your orthopedic doctor or hand specialist to have it evaluated.Wish you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Santosh S. Jeevannavar, Orthopedic Surgeon
