Thumb injury?!
Question: a few years ago i was playing basketball when it was really cold outside and i jammed my left thumb pretty bad. well i noticed after a week i couldnt bend it that much. now, 2 years later, it wont bend at a 90 degree angle like my right thumb. i can barely bend it, but it doesnt hurt at all unless i put pressure on it

I had similar symptoms with my thumbs (on both hands) after two seperate incidents of straining them while doing construction work. I asked my (general practice) doctor about it, he didn't really have any ideas other than getting a brace. So I just massaged the knuckle and around the wrist and bone that goes from the thumb to the upper arm and after awhile the pain was gone and I had total movement ability.
Yes! You have a thumb injury!
you should have gone to see a doctor when the injury first happened, they may have to break it or reverse whatever it is you did and it will be much more painful, so get to an ortho asap =)
