I can't straighten my thumb...?!


Question:

I can't straighten my thumb...?

I dislocated my thumb on Monday and I was noticing that I cant straighten my thumb right now (like to do a thumbs up). I'm sure its a little tight from being swelled up but the thing is it doesn't hurt when i try and straighten it, it just stops. Will this be like that forever or will it just take time to heal? Thanks

I DISLOCATED IT!! it was the wrong way, the coach popped it back to normal! I am going to the Docs tomorrow I just thought someone might have some insight...


Answers:

You can indeed dislocate your thumb. There is probably nothing more the Doctor can do except to bind you hand. the pain will go away gradually.
