buttons on a mouse made it worse. It hurt so much I stopped using the mouse buttons a few years ago but use my thumbs on my phone and tablet. While all my hand joints get stiff and sore, that left thumb can be a killer.

Ice will help. Doctor told me to switch to tylenol (I'd been using advil) and that seems to help a little. Ultimately, it's like when the patient said to the doctor, it hurts when I do this and the doctor says stop doing that.
