So, about six weeks ago, I got this terrible pain emanating from the big knuckle of my right index finger. Later that day, it shot down the finger, and made it immoveable for a good five minutes or so. It was simply excruciating.
Since then, the pain has not entirely gone away, and feels like the tail end of having touched a stinging nettle.
Now today, I was pumping up the tyres on my kids’ bikes, and holding the valve stem in place with my thumb and index finger, when suddenly a similar pain – though not as strong as it originally was in my index finger – shoots through the pad of my thumb.
I have not yet gone to the GP because I thought it would be one of those bizarre occurences that would pass on its own, but now I’m worried and won’t end getting to see a GP before Tuesday.
So STW… any realistic ideas?
