Thanks doc

Sooo I dislocated my thumb at the base it was pushed down towards my palm its been ab 19 days sense my bike accident … so my questions how do i know if it is healing properly ? the swelling in my hand has came down alooot from what it was i pretty much sprained my hole hand & wrist , but so my thumb is still swolen it seens like and it is still kinda bruised looks like but i can’t bend it at all i can kinda sway it left right down up but i can’t bend it & kinda feels different than my other thing meaning when i touch something with my messed up thumb i dont have the same feeling as when i touch my good thumb so idk i just looking for advice to know how if it’s healing properly? How to tell ? Or Check i have been to doc it is in a cast but i take it off here and there to lightly wash it & re wrap it …any thing i should look for ?

Wish someone had an answer cause mine is swollen or inflamed but i have no pain. It’s just some sort of lump. And when i do thumb exercises it gets kinda weak? Or stiff? But i feel like i got it from gaming cause i remember awhile ago my thumb burn from gaming but that was a year and half ago now it is literally a lump plz help someone.

Thank you so much for this information, doctor. I have an elite athlete kid.

How come I always injury the right ligament not the left?

Cut my thumb on the July 4th & Ik my ligament is damaged, my wound healed up but everytime I move my thumb a certain way its nothing but pain

My right thumb is swollen after dunking a ball my thumb pushed in the rim

I believe it to be my flexor tendon in my thumb. It doesn't hurt to bend it or anything, the area doesn't seem swollen but it seems like the tendon is protruding or seems swollen or something. It seems like it's out of place. Whatever it is, it doesn't feel right and I'm wondering what might be wrong

Colbzz 1 year ago I think this happened to me. 3 weeks ago I was cracking my thumb and woke up in the night with EXCRUCIATING pain in thumb, couldn’t even move it. They told me it wasn’t broken but after 3 weeks of immobilization it is only at about 50%. It has gotten better, but I’m wondering if it will ever get back to normal,

This is so frustrating! I think this is what I have and the same thing.. xray and now PA thinking I have arthritis.. they don't even bother doing research to determine correct diagnosis. I called to hand specialist to get scheduled but having tp wait a few weeks for appointment and have fear they won't order MRI. If I have any opposing force on thumb wile extended > 30 or 40 ° the pain is bad. Go to a specialist if you can .. even tell them you think u have gamekeepers thumb. All the PAhad to do was drop her ego and order MRI so that whenni see the specialist he will have a good picture of my injury .. life can be full of struggles , people need to work together instead of working against each other. Ive been wearing tape to keep my thumb from opening. Good luck and thank the insurance companies for part of the hassle, they are part of the problem

Have you seen a hand specialist.? They can possibly do surgery but I don't know

dear doctor. I had my MCP joint break just the way you described, and put in a cast for 4 weeks. However a few doctors who saw the xrays told me that the ligament didn't tear... how can they know for sure, if there was no MRI taken? I had my thumb hit by the gas throttle while my motorbike hit a fence... thank you!

I punched the edge of my wardrobe with all my body weight, and all the impact was on my thumb, I can move it but it is swollen and I really hurts to put pressure.
