Broken thumb not healed properly?!
Question:
Broken thumb not healed properly?
i broke my thumb 4 and a half weeks ago, it was severely bruised and swollen at first but i didn't realise it was broken, after 10 days it was still given me trouble so i went to the hospital and they x-rayed it and told me it was broken and put a crappy little split thing on it to stop me bending it.
well i went back today and they said it's healed in the wrong position and there's nothing i can do and i'm not going to be able to bend it again. i refuse to accept this and think there must be some sort of operation or something where they can re-break and reset it??
what are my options?? i can't not have the use of my thumb for the rest of my life i'm only 23.
Answers:
yeah well there is sumthing sum1 can do.
the hospital must be crap if they cant set a thumb properly.
go to a good orthopaedic surgeon, and they'll fix it
it may involve beaking it again but you'll be under anasthaetic so its fine
u really need to be able to bend your thumb, its important.
good luck
