I stopped wearing that brace after a day because I couldn't get work done. My thumb still gets numb but I try to stretch it out.

If stretching does not work Southern Comfort does.. LOL My thumb and fore finger used to jam at the worst time like when i am dealing with a live bus bar when dressing a panel out. I wonder if a good shock might help the nerves. :arghh:

The irony of a thumb jam is that it can hurt worse than some other "real" injuries. Guess that's because a jammed thumb is like a paper cut that gets the nerves all worked up. I can move that thumb just right - and - BAM - instant pain.
