I have sharp pain in the base of my left thumb joint when I exhale. Would this be arthritis? I am 45 year old female (left-handed), ride bikes for longs periods of time and use computer phone a lot. The pain is very distinct just after I breathe deep and exhale. Thank you
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. It is most likely arthritis. But how it is related to exhalation I fail to understand. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Diapering, glucosamine and hot fomentation is useful. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
