I broke my right thumb just above the knuckle below the nail about 5 weeks ago. I ve been trying to bend my thumb for a week but it won t bend and is really tight and painful if I try and force it. I m worried I won t be able to grip properly with my right hand . I can barely pick up my mobile using my thumb and no grip strength at all
