What causes pain in left hand?
Patient: Hi I have been experiencing pain in my left hand it feels like there is a bone out or moving about, its a dull ache which can get worse at times it is mostly based on top of my hand there is also a hard lump which I think is the bone it is very painful now that I am trying to type the pain is shooting up towards my wrist and arm the more I use it the more painful it gets what should I do ? Doctor: getting an idea from your pain while tying it is probably the scaphoid bone that is troubling you.can be necrosis if you had a history of fall on your handor else can be just an overuse pain which had lead to muscle spasm.stabilize the joint with a compression bandage and apply a contrast bath i.e apply ice (10 min)& hot packs (10 min alternating 3/4 times) over the pain area 4 times a day.and ray to confirm the diagnosis is advisablehope you find this helpful
