					Radial Collateral injury re-appeared
				
				
						
						
				
					
						
							Hi there
 
I wrenched my thumb 10 years ago and was told i damaged the radial collateral.
I had a cast on for 6 weeks and 2 weeks after it came off i did the same injury again - ouch!
 
No problems since whatsoever, weight lifting, martial arts and rock climbing for years.
Stopped all that a couple of years ago and just run now, but my old thumb injury has now suddenly started giving me trouble.
I cant fully clench it and the pain can be at the bottom of the thumb, in the middle or at the top.  It can also be sore under the thumb knuckle?
 
I had plans to take up martial arts again, but i will now wait till i can get an appointment with a phyisio. 
With my local NHS service i will be waiting up to 2 months to see someone, i was wondering if anyone had any advice for me?
 
Thanks in advance
 
John
