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.
I fell while on crutches - my fall was broken by my hand - specifically the thenar area of my hand. I can move my thumb, but it is extremely painfull. I just had bone fusion surgery on my foot and the pain wasn t as bad as this hand injury. If I can move all my fingers am I ok?
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a thumb sprain. I suggest to rest. Try not use your hand for at least 48 hours. Apply ice immediately after the injury to keep the swelling down. Wear an elastic compression bandage to reduce swelling.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
