Ok so when I put a full swing on a club, I get this weird pain in my left hand....but its on the inside/the palm side of the hand.I would reckon its something to do with my thumb but it doesn't feel like tendonitis or anything of that nature..doesn't hurt when I do anything else except anything that applies fast pressure on it(swinging motions).

I know about seeing a doctor..just try to avoid going if its something i can let heal up on its own.

Bit more  info, like has this been happening for a day, a week, a year?

From what I know of my own injuries, muscles clear up in a couple days or weeks. Ligaments/tendons can take 6 weeks if strained.

If you do something that also impacts the area, chores at home using shovels or chopping wood orsomething, or hobbies like cycling or mountain biking could put pressure on that same areas without you noticing.

I popped a muscle on the side of my wrist from using an axe, physio said it was the strangest thing they'd seen, was inflamed for 5 weeks I think.

So it could be a number of things, but you have to work out anything else that could have caused it, and if it doesn't clear up, get it seen to..

the only time the pain returns is when I swing a club or a hammer or things like that....things that flex that area of the hand.  I haven't had any impacts to the hand that would cause a broken bone...and it just started happening out of the blue about a month ago when I started making practice swings getting ready for the new season.  the only other "symptom" that I could think of thats related is that my first thumb joint (closests to nail) always feels stiff now.  I'm thinking its such a weird area for pain that I'm gonna have to have it looked at.
