Hurt my thumb during weightlifting?

It appears minor. Is the thumb still slightly warm to touch ? If it is so, please apply Ice Cubes immediately. In case there is swelling but no local heat , in that case please dip your thumb into a mug full of hot water with salt added to it. Try that 3-4 times daily. You will be well soon. If the pain lasts for over 48 hours, please see an Orthopedic.

First off, go get it checked. Also, if you open your hand flat and extend your fingers and thumb apart, at base of your thumb you will sp see a little dent in the shape of a V third is nicknamed your snuff box. Gently but firmly press a finger from your other hand, just the tip of your finger, into that little triangular box in the center until you hit solid. If it causes you excruciating pain keep hand in same position and press on the bone directly underneath the above mentioned area, if excruciating pain again, make the doctor specifically check your Nivicular(spelling might be off, been a long time) as this is a some what common break but often mis diagnosed as a sprain or the like. But it could be as simple as a sprain. But see a doctor and find out to prevent any serious complications.
