According to this study published in the Journal of Orthopedic Research, the overuse of hand, finger, and thumb joints causes repetitive stress injuries to the joint of the thumb. Thumb Pain is a common hand and wrist condition associated with the injury and abuse of small thumb joint, called the trapeziometacarpal (TM joint), resulting in base of thumb pain.
Sprained finger or jammed finger is a common sports injury that pushes the tip of your finger or thumb away from your palm.
And it does so by directly affecting your finger and thumb ligaments. Ligaments are connective tissues that attach different bones of your fingers. Due to these ligaments, you can move your fingers flexibly across all directions (and pinch your opponents during the game!)
Hand and wrist pain are common complaints of people who spend several hours typing, but can also occur due to sprain or sudden injury to your hand or wrist. Although occasional wrist pain may go away with rest, if yours persists and causes stiffness in wrist, you better get this mischief managed before it turns into a nightmare!
