I have one thumb that is stiff and achy and is twitching on its own. Has been all day. No other fingers, just this one. Any one else have something like this?

Hi Nicci, I. am also left handed but both my thumbs have that problem. More after I have been doing sewing. Hope your problem goes away or at least decrease with time.

๐Ÿ’œNow I'm left handed, and it's my left thumb, I wonder if it's on each of our dominant hand, left thumb for left handers, and right thumb for right handers...๐Ÿฆ‹..be interesting to know? ๐Ÿ’œ

๐Ÿ’œYes Missa....always my left thumb, and at times it can render that hand useless, it really hurts..๐Ÿฆ‹..only now and then, first time it happened I went to the doctors, as it had been like it for a couple of days, he was a particularly unpleasant doctor, he yanked it here and there, ( which really hurt) and said, well it isn't broken! ๐Ÿ’œ

Hi Nicci, luckily I don't do sewing that often. I can live with it that way. A nice rub with an Aloe heat rub and gloves when I sleep and tomorrow I can carry on again.

Nikki๐Ÿ’œ... yes, my thumb is my right hand and Iโ€™m right handed. Me too, it only happens sometimes, annoying, but doesnโ€™t hurt. Never had it prior to Fibro.
