OK my question is somewhat long due to the explanation. Anyway, my left thumb, mainly the MCP joint and where the ucl runs has hurt for a few months now. I have injured the area before, and been to an orthopaedic surgeon and ha e been told its OK, even though all i had taken was an xray. So I have injured it playing lacrosse and having it bend like it would bend in a skiers thumb injury. After the most recent injury in November 2011, my doctor gave me a splint which I wore for about a month from direction. So after finishing the lacrosse season this spring, it hurt most of the season, at times really bad, but I finished the season, and went to see him again and all he did was xray it again, telling me to take it easy, and nothing is wrong. Well that wad five weeks ago, and I still have horrible pain, reaching like an 8 of 10 range, but my mom believes I'm just being stupid and says nothings wrong. I can't open a water bottle or loch anything more than one piece of paper and that still hurts. Also, it goes numb, and feels like cold pain from the mcp and ucl into my wrist and the webbing between my thumb and finger.
Any help would be nice.
I am 17 BTW.
