Did I seriously hurt my thumb?!
Question:
Did I seriously hurt my thumb?
I was playing volleyball in school. When I was trying to set the ball, the ball hit my thumb straight down from the tip. It hurt tremendously for about an hour and then the pain gradually lessened. However, it has been a week and the pain is still there.
There is a slight pain below the second knuckle whenever I move it, and about 4 on a pain scale of 1-10 (10 the worst) whenever I flex it or bring it toward my fingers.
I was wondering whether I seriously injured my thumb or if my thumb is just sore? There has been no swelling, discoloration, or inability to move it.
Answers:
Its jammed. It happens alot to me in football. It is just a severe compression of the bone. Put some ice on it to soothe the pain. Theres nothing else you can do. You should be good in a week.
