I by a product called blue stop max  at Walmart. It has aloe Vera and other ingredients  that work great for pain.

* Just looking at the brace tells one something- if it’s not broken, you probably have nerve or ligament etc damage. You should seek professional help.

* If over the counter medications are not working & the pain is ongoing, it’s time for Plan B. It may cost you to find out the root cause of your pain, but you’ll need to ask yourself is it worth knowing or not. Some folk will want to ride the pain out because they can’t afford the cost involved, but that’s a personal choice and one you have to live with.

* All the best.

Use ice

Thanks.
I did go to the hospital.
Bad sprang, but, feels like nerve damage, due to having carpal tunnel  surgery years ago, it's in that same area.
The swelling went down, but, the nerve pain is still with me.
