Broken thumb???!!!?!?!?!!!!!!!???!?!?!


Question: Broken thumb???!!!?!?!?!!!!!!!???!?!?
Ok I broke my thumb 9 weeks ago and it's still bothering me. I had a cast for three weeks. It was still broken when I got it off. They didnt give me another cast or anything. It still is killing me! Here are my symptoms
Swelling

Little bit of bruising

Burning pain in thumb at times

Tingling in thumb and index finger

Non-Stop throbbing

Aching up whole arm, thumb and fingers

Unable to move wrist, thumb, and index finger

Sharp pain in thumb at times

Red spot right where I broke my thumb

Twitching in broken thumb with hurts!!!!

Im seeing my doctor in like 4-5 days. I'm 13 years old by the way. I've been icing my thumb whenever I can and Ive been taking painkillers that don't work.

Could it still be broken?

If not, what could be wrong?

Will I need surgery?

Will I need another cast?


Also on April 8th my class is going on a field trip to a indoor waterpark.

Should I tell my doctor about that?

Answers:

its probably still broken you should have got a splint or something when they took the cast off. dont just ice it. alternate between hot and cold. you might need surgery if it is bad enough but you probably would have heard about surgery by now. and yes tell your doctor about the waterpark. he will probably tell you not to ride any rides on the trip and you will want to disobey that but don't or it will hurt badly.



it definitely sounds broken, you poor kid! i wish i could come over there and kiss it better babe! you will definitely get another cast but i dont know about surgery. and you can tell him if you want but it probably wont make a difference...get well soon! luv u!
