Hand injury - obvious swelling at base of thumb. No discoloration. Thumb knuckle and fingers move without pain, swiveling thumb at base hurts, lifting light weight with fingers in a curling motion sends pain up wrist. Icing, wondering about Dr. visit tomorrow.
Hi, In your case, a small fracture cannot be ruled out, so I would like an X-ray first. In the meantime, I would suggest painkillers and a thumb splint restrict movements. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
