Question

Yes, I know I need to get it looked at but with it being holiday season I’m trying to save money for Christmas and I know an X-ray will be a lot. I’m calling the doctor Monday if it gets worse. I was jumping on a trampoline with my son yesterday and landed on my thumb. It made a few crunching sounds but today it’s swelled and feels like I need to pop it but I can’t bend it. I can move my thumb around somewhat just can’t really bend it. I’ve been icing it and wrapping it. Any one had any experience with this type of thing? I’ve never sprained or fractured anything. I will say the pain is pretty intense. Please no harsh comments about going to doctor, I plan to Monday if its not better.

Answer

Unfortunately they will only give pain meds. There's not much that can be done with fingers. I hope you feel better!

Answer

Looks just sprained . Probably going to be sore for a few days either way though they can do much for a finger . Just wrap it up with a finger splint

Answer

If its dislocated it needs to be reset and ice it's broken depending on where and such they would cast it.  I get wanting to save money but you could suffer permanent damage if you wait too long.  My husband dislocated a toe.  The er dr thought they had pulled it back into place but it wasn't, now the only way to fix it is surgery with rods....

Answer

I sprained my thumb last year (I think it was sprain, not sure though I didn't get it checked out) and it swelled up pretty bad. I just iced it for a week or so and after a bit it was like it never happened. Take ibuprofen or something if it hurts cause that's all any Dr will do

Answer

Probably sprained or dislocated. But even if it’s broken they can’t do much.
