Do i have a torn ligament in my thumb, is it broken, or is it just severely jammed?!


Question: Do i have a torn ligament in my thumb, is it broken, or is it just severely jammed.?
I was playing basketball the other day and i went up for a rebound and with my mad hops i hit my thumb right up against the rim straight on it. It hurt pretty bad so i took a break and then went back to play another game like an hour later. That night it was a little swollen at the base of the thumb and it hurt the base of the thumb when i moved it. The next day however, the swelling and bruising went down and i can move my thumb around pretty well but it hurts when i try and bring my thumb across my hand at the base of the thumb, for example holding up the number 4 with your hand. I am guessing it's just a jammed thumb but i've never jammed my thumb so i want to make sure, i usually jam my other fingers. Thanks.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Doesn't sound broken. if it were broken, you would know it. Believe me, I broke my thumb before and the pain was worse than what your describing. Most likely, its jammed. But if you want to make sure, give your doctor a call.Health Question & Answer
