Thumb pain

[cycling_mike]

So my thumb joint hurts when I'm pinching narrow holds and, if I'm not careful, when I do pushups or curls. It doesn't hurt alot, more like a dull ache below the thumb (palm area) and between thumb and 1st finger. It's been happening off and on for the past couple months and it seems like my pinch grip is weaker. Anyone have any ideas?

You may have just overused it if there was no overt injury to it.

Try wearing one of these as much as you can tolerate for a couple weeks. This particular brand is not only the most comfortable, but works awesome for wrist issues as well.
