Pain in thumb

Asked for Male, 37 years

Last week, I fell and hit my thumb on the floor hard. It instantly hurt and I knew I had sprained or jammed it. The next day, my palm and the thumb muscle were swollen with a painful lump. I could not grab or hold anything, but I can move it around. So, I know it did not break. It has almost been a week and is still very sore. There is no pain in the knuckle and I still cannot hold heavy things and grab things. On bending it is very painful. What should I do? Thanks in advance

Dear Patient,

You will need an Xray of your hand. It seems like you may have had a minor fracture.
Please take tablet Brexin twice a day for a week or ten days. Soak your hand in lukewarm water twice a day. Apply fastum gel on the affected area. You may need plaster to immobilize your thumb while it heals if the pain n swelling don't improve. Plz write back to us with photos of X-ray report or see our orthopedic consultant
