Answer:

I'm sorry to hear about your ongoing thumb pain. It's concerning that you have been experiencing this for almost 4 months. If your left thumb is consistently painful with every movement, it could be indicative of a more serious underlying issue that requires medical attention.

Treatment options for chronic thumb pain can vary depending on the specific cause, but may include:

1. Rest and immobilization: Giving your thumb time to rest and using splints or braces to protect it from further injury.

2. Physical therapy: Exercises and stretches to improve mobility, strength, and flexibility in the thumb.

3. Medications: Over-the-counter pain relievers or anti-inflammatory drugs to help manage pain and inflammation.

4. Injections: Corticosteroid injections may be considered to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.

5. Surgery: In severe cases or if conservative treatments are not effective, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair damaged tissues or structures in the thumb.

It's important not to ignore persistent thumb pain, as it can impact your daily activities and overall quality of life. Seeking timely medical attention will help in determining the best course of treatment to address your specific condition. In the meantime, you can try applying ice packs, practicing gentle thumb exercises, and avoiding activities that worsen the pain.
