What causes thumb pain?Tendonitis Tendons are tissue that connect muscle to bone. Tendons can become inflammed or irritated (tendonitis ) by overuse or injury resulting in pain and swelling. Tenodnitis can occur at any age. Gardening, frequent lifting, and even prolonged typing are just a few of the many activities that can cause a tendonitis. ArthiritisOsteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. This type of arthritis typically occurs after age 40 and is associated with damage to cartilage that cushions the joint. As a reult of this injury to cartilage, new bone forms leading to a painful and sometimes an enlarged or deformed joint. |
