Thumb Got Numb After Falling On Wrist Without Much Pain
I'am 56 years old the end of jan. I tripped & fell on my wrist I thought that it may had been jammed & ice & time would fix it. Thats not working it seems it is getting worse & now my thumb seems to lose the feeling in at maybe around 3 or 4 times a day it does not stay numb it comes & goes. My ? is even though I can move my wrist in certain directions but not without alot of pain could it be broke

Hi,
I have read your query.
Nothing can be said without x-ray scaphoid all four views. Get x-ray done and discus it with your doctor. He after doing physical examination of wrist may advise you some wrist splint etc.
Till then do not lift weight with affected wrist.
I hope you have got your answer.
Thanks.
Dr.Singh.
