So i dislocated my thumb monday playing basketball...?

I'm wondering a couple things... I went to the doc and all and I'm getting an xray today, but how long does it usually take for this kind of injury to heal? How often should I have Ice on it? Is there anything I can do that may help speed up recovery time? Thank you!

Keep using the ice 4-5 times a day during the first week. You can make up a bowl of ice water and soak for 5 minutes at a time. Just see what the doctor says for activity.
