Do you have pain on the backside of the web or joint of your thumb?
That can be caused by the supinator muscle. It is located below your elbow on the same side as your thumb and is responsible for rotating your lower arm and bending your elbow.
This muscle is often the cause of “tennis elbow”, too.
If your pain happens to be in both your elbow and thumb joint, the supinator just may be to blame!
Simply
massaging deeply into the supinator muscle can help get rid of your thumb pain. If it’s really tender that’s a good clue that it’s tight and in need of massage to help relax.
You can also use ice massage–rub an ice cube rapidly in and around the area. Check out the ‘Heat & Ice Therapy’ Category in the Categories here at Carpal Tunnel Pain Relief Now for more information about using ice.
Remember, more than one thing can cause pain in the joint of your thumb. But by checking this muscle for tenderness and massaging it you just may get rid of the pain in your thumb naturally.
