i hurt my wrist and so was wearing a splint and it kinda cut off the circulation!


Question: I hurt my wrist and so was wearing a splint and it kinda cut off the circulation to my thumb i guess?
because today, i don't have the splint on and my thumb has been half-numb all day long.
will it ever get better? i'm scared i permanently damaged my thumb....

Answers:

You more than likely caused a bit of nerve damage to a peripheral nerve running to your thumb. Continue to ice it; your thumb will be fine.
