Maybe try just exercising it a little bit or massage it, I don't know what else you could do though.

Maybe use some bengay or something like that on it. A warm compress/bath may help too.

I use Alleve for stuff like that too, but I use the wal-mart brand, it is called napoxen sodium, it is a anti-inflamatory. It works pretty good.

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
What a bummer it's still hurting! I do that a couple times a year, but I've never had the pain last as long as you are.


Treat it like a pulled muscle - a warm compress followed by Ben-Gay or Aspercreme should do the trick.


Hope you get relief soon!

I've gotten some relief - but the weirdest thing happened. . . .i was sitting down and having a drink and all of a sudden the ache came back. . . .but this morning it went away. . . .strange. if it keeps coming back i'll have to get it checked out.

That sounds like a good idea. Stay healthy sweetie.

Hmm, could it be carpal tunnel maybe? I hope it clears up soon and turns out to be nothing!
