i sprained my left thumb about 3 weeks ago, do i keep it wrapped?

Question:

my sprain was done playing coed softball a guy ran to second and jammed my hand when i went for the tag.

Answers:
Thumbs can take a very long time to heal. I sprained mine skiing, and it was painful upwards of 5 months later. I think it's because we depend on it and use it so much.

Other Answers:
it depends on how it looks and feels. If it looks good, and feels good, then you can probably unwrap it, but if it feels painful or looks swollen, then don't.

sometimes a sprain can be worse then a break. it depends on waht you thumb feels like. you could try unwrpping it at night when you sleep. this way you not likley to hurt it
