While playing cricket my thumb got hit by the ball. First day there was swelling but as the day passed the swelling has been decreased. I do not know if there is fracture or not, but i am able to make movement in my thumb, but my thumb is hurting in activities where I need to apply pressure on my thumb example pressing a button hardly or applying pressure between thumb and index finger. Is it a severe injury.
Mr. lybrate-user you definitely need x ray for it
go for x ray followed by splinting or plaster cast for 21days
you can apply ice to reduce pain over it.
as you are able to do movements properly without any pain then it is not a fracture
still you can go for x-ray for proper confirmation of diagnosis
you need to do thumb exercises with finger exerciser device., reaching your thumb to all tje fingers, ball press,flexion extension of thumb etc
