Okay my mom is an RN but she just looked at it once and thought it was just hurt and sore but that was a little bit after it happened.

It has been almost a week and it is still bruised and it tingles sometimes and it just hurts when I try to use it.


Answers:

The only sure way to know is to get it xrayed. If you don't have full range of motion of your thumb, it may well be broken and you're really handicapped, so have it seen about now before the fracture heals wrong and the damage is permanent.
