Question: What's wrong with my thumb?!?!?!?! Please help I'm in lots of pain and I'm scared!!!!?
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:
Your doctor is an idiot. If it was still broken when the cast was taken off, it should have been replaced with another cast. It may be infected now. Go see a doctor tomorrow. Don't wait.
I do not know about all the rest but the water park bit is done for.
