Does this need more than the three months I have given it or is it time to go in? what do you think is wrong with my hand?
Answers:
Have you seen a doctor about your thumb?
It could have been a sprain, but this wouldn't come back so it is possible that it may be a fracture, or if the pain is constant and not necessarily when bending your thumb then it could be muscular damage but I would have thought that three months would have been enough to heal it.
If it returns and bruises then i'd get it checked out to be on the safe side.
