Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should I See A Doctor For Swelling And Soreness In Thumb After Falling On Thumb?
I slipped on the ice and fell on my palm just below the thumb, it swelled up immediately and is still swollen (3 days later) and bruised. It is sore and if I press in the area below my thumb or stretch out my thumb it hurts even more, otherwise just a dull constant ache. Is it really worth going to the doctor, or can it just heal on its own?
