approx ten months ago I met with a small accident where my thumb got hit to a pole. after 3 to 4 days I experienced pain in joint area in thumb. I am still unable to lift weight, experience minor to heavy pain while doing tense movements rest, minor movement work can be done easily. I went to orthopedic doctor, he said i have swelling in thumb joint area and it will be cured automatically but ten months passed i am still experiencing pain. Please help
