How long does it take for a jarred thumb to heal?!
Question: How long does it take for a jarred thumb to heal!?
I was sparring 2 weeks ago and I threw a powerful punch but went and caught my thumb which made it go back and it's been hurting ever since!.
Im pretty sure I haven't broken anything but it's affecting my weight training, I can't put a lot of pressure on the joint and this is no good as I need to do strength training using a lot of weight!.
I don't see what a doctor can do and I can't stop exercising but I need it to heal so I can throw my punches with power, just what am I supposed to do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm afraid it's a case of "Grin & Bear it" I did the same over twelve months ago when I walked into a closed glass patio door!. I banged both my thumb and big toe!. Today neither of them have really gone away!. The doc tells me it could even start off a touch of arthritis which I'm beginning to believe as I do get twinges from both of them every so often!.
