Swollen Palm

Asked for Female, 54 years

My mother is unable to close her palm completely. Her palm is a bit swollen and if she tries to close her hand, her palm hurts especially the area of her thumb. This just suddenly happened without any kind of physical work. She takes regular medications for BP and sugar. What might be the reason? And which specialist should I consult?

Dear Patient,

Try icing this area, it will provide a little relief. Apply brufen gel 2-3times a day and rub in circular motion. Consult a medical specialist for evaluation.
If this path is with stiffness, etc you can even consult a rheumatologist

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Rheumatologists in Karachi and seek in-person advice.
