Thumb pain is a common complaint that patients have in our orthopedic clinic. It is most common near the wrist at the “snuffbox” area or basilar region of the thumb. This pain can be very debilitating because it affects all aspects of daily living that require using the hand for grip.
Grasping gardening tools, kitchen aids or racquets as well opening jars can be particularly problematic. A variety of causes for this pain can be identified: tendonitis, arthritis, fracture and nerve compression.
Ada Area Chamber of Commerce is working on plans for the annual Merry on Main, according to Health Cox, chamber president.

“We have a lot of exciting things in the works and more information will be coming very soon,” she added.

The news this week of the resignation of Coach White has prompted me to write this letter. I am sad and somewhat angered that Ada athletics have gotten to this point.
My family, in one way or another, has been involved in Ada athletics since the late 1970s. This has included myself, my siblings, my children, nieces and nephews and now my grandchildren. Our family has participated in football, basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, volleyball, softball, track, cheerleading and even a bit of coaching at Ada.
So it is easy to see and say that we care a great deal about Ada athletics.
