Thumb Injury, Hurts To Touch Or Move. Applied Ice. Swollen, Dark Bruising. How To Heal Faster?
I jammed my thumb really hard yesterday. It felt like it jammed in the base of my thumb not the knuckle. I didnt try to pull on it or anything right after it happened cuz it hurt to bad to touch or move it at all. When i got home about 3 hrs later i iced it for about 5 minutes.now i can wiggle it back and forth without a ton of pain but writing or putting any pressure on it hurts and lot and it is stiff.it is very swollen at the base and has dark bruising in a circle around the base. What can i do to help in heal fast and do u think something in my hand might be fractured?
