What is this called?

[Buttons4me]

Hopefully pics attached. Can anyone tell me does this area have a specific name to it? Ive googled but remain unsure. Thankyou.

Bumping to see if anyone can help!

Thankyou For the bump. It's what's classed as my wrist area? But does it have a specific name? I've had trouble since the 4th April. With my thumb base area, very limited movement in my thumb, I can't move my thumb, and my wrist and the area in the pictures. I just feel like I've got a chipped bone in that area even if that sounds a bit odd. I have my wrist and thumb strapped up through out the day and at night as they feel so weak. Anyone know a specific name if there is for that area too in the pictures. Thankyou

Could it be the beginnings of rheumatoid arthritis? I have similar symptoms and would describe my whole wrist and hands as weak/no grip and I've recently been diagnosed it's RA.

Have you fallen on it at all?
I don’t know what that bone is called but when I broke my scaphoid that’s where it hurt and I couldn’t use my thumb properly.
Might want to get an x ray?

Ganglion?

The 'dip' around the base of your thumb/ inner wrist is your anatomical snuff box.

Anatomical snuffbox! Its technically a little further towards the wrist than your black dot, but look it up.

If you are avoiding A&E, there might be a minor injuries unit or walk in centre nearby.

Sorry misread. I thought you meant a bump.Must put specs on.

My gp has said they aren't doing any x ray referrals at the moment. Could it be my scaphoid? I have no grip, I can't move my thumb up or down or to the side. It feels so weak. I need to have my wrist and thumb strapped.

Another thought it tendonitis- inflammation of the tendon there.

When I had tendonitis, I had such a weakened hand. I couldn't hold a cup, tie up my hair and had no strength in my thumb at all. I was given a thumb splint hand strap which helped a great deal and within a few days I was using it again. It did flare again though a month later when I was doing vigorously kneading dough for ages! But again, the strap for a few days helped.

It's probably a ganglion cyst.Dd has on that builds up and the goes,then builds up.It makes her wrist sore and she had trouble when she had her mock GCSEs.She has a wrist brace that stops her moving her wrist too much and that reduces the pain.
I have offered to hit it with a heavy book but she has declined.
If they get bad they can be drained but tend to come back.

I haven't had a fall. This started on April 4th. I've phoned my gp about it but she said I have to appreciate that no referrals are being done at the moment. I will have a read about the snuff box thankyou.

I had tendonitis here and it was specifically called Dr Quervains tenosynovitis. It's also known as mothers thumb as it's associated with carrying babies and young children. GP prescribed a thumb splint which you can get on amazon and voltarol gel. If that didn't solve it I was going to need steroid injections. It took a month or so of daily gel and splint wearing but it did get better.

This is similar to what the minor injuries unit gave me:

My Daughter has had to tie my hair up when I want it up. I can't wash dishes, I can't hoover, I cant use scissors etc my daughter had to turn the tap on and brush my teeth. It feels so weak.

This is exactly the symptoms I had. Putting up my hair was impossible.

Blood blister?
