whats wrong with my thumb it hurts and is swollen?!


Question: Whats wrong with my thumb it hurts and is swollen?
My thumb hurts and it is swollen in the palm area that sticks out near the thumb. It hurts when i move why thumb and hold things. its been like this for 4 days now. it started when my hand got super shaky and then i got a hand cramp. the next day it still hurt and the day after it hurt too but no swelling until today. I can move it in some ways and it doesn't hurt but in other ways it does and it really hurts to be touched.
If someone could tell me what is possibly wrong with it and maybe what to do for it that would be much appreciated. :)
thanks.

Answers:

Hi
Sounds like you have dislocated your thumb, try massaging the area and apply warmth to the sore spot ( warm up a wheat pillow)
Take pain relief, and see if things improve over the next couple of days, if not get an xray. Good Luck.
