How do you stop swelling in your thumb?

Did I brake my thumb?

  • Hi, two fridays ago I was leaning back in a chair in chior. I then proceeded to try to stop myself and put my hand back to stop the impact. My thumb made a loud crack noise and it hurts really bad a the lower joint base. I think I should get an x-ray ( there is swelling no bruising) but I dont really know alot about it.

  • Answer:

    Yes, you need the X-ray.

If it is still painful after this long it may be broken or dislocated,. Get along to your A&E department to get it checked out properly. Break not brake, and what does this have to do with cycling?

If it still hurts after 2 weeks and the swelling and pain hasn't gone down then you should get an xray. Espesh if you cant move it without pain.
