[QUOTE="cteld, post: 268796, member: 43034"] Oops, I missed that it was your thumb. That might be the flexor pollicis longus. Davies says that trigger points in this muscle "can cause the last thumb joint to lock...Locate the belly of the flexor pollicis longus about a third of the way up from the wrist on the radial side (thumb side) of the inner forearm. Feel the muscle contract when you make a hard fist, pressing strongly with your thumb against the middle finger." (p. 125) After you've identified the muscle, search for the tender spot along it and then try massage as I wrote above. Would really like to know if this helps anyone. I'm becoming very evangelical about trigger point therapy these days, 'cause it's helped me and my family so much! [/QUOTE]
