When to see a doctor, not a physiotherapist

Physiotherapy is not the right first step for everything. Seek medical assessment promptly if any of the following apply to you:

• Wasting of the muscle at the base of the thumb, or constant numbness that no longer comes and goes
• A hand that is cold, pale or blue after an injury
• Sudden loss of grip or inability to move a finger after trauma
• Spreading redness, heat and fever in the hand or forearm
• Pain following a significant fall, road accident or other major injury
• Fever, chills or feeling generally unwell alongside the pain
• Weakness that is getting worse, or numbness that is spreading

If you lose control of your bladder or bowels, develop numbness around the groin, or have chest pain or breathlessness, treat it as an emergency and go to hospital.

Safety limits and when this does not apply

• Do not push exercises into numbness or pins and needles. Nerve symptoms that increase during an exercise mean stop.
• Night numbness that wakes you, or symptoms that persist for weeks, need assessment rather than more exercises.
• Avoid forceful gripping and repeated wrist bending while symptoms are active.
• This article is general information. It is not an assessment of your problem, and it cannot account for your medical history, medication or imaging.
