We see many people at our practice with a long medical history of thumb pain and thumb pain treatments. These people would up seeing us because their long medical history of conservative care treatments, possibly surgery or surgical recommendation did not help them and they are seeking stem cell therapy or PRP platelet rich plasma therapy as options. Perhaps as options and an alternative to some type of hand surgery.
Thumb pain is often confused with wrist pain and carpal tunnel pain. The confusion with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the belief that there is some type of tendon involvement. The confusion with the wrist pain can lead to the belief that there is a ligament or osteoarthritis involvement. As an added layer of confusion doctors may find it difficult to determine if the person’s pain is coming from the wrist or thumb.
