I hurt my thumb playing volleyball, what could be wrong? Any answer appreciated!?
Hi! So the other day I was playing beach volleyball and I went to set it but the ball pushed my fingers back and my thumb bent backwards pretty hard. It hurt quite a bit but I continued playing because I figured the pain would go away. It didn't. That was two days ago and my thumb feels really weak. I cant turn knobs with it, tie my hair, use scissors, these activities hurt my thumb too much. My thumb doesn't look any different, so doesn't appear to be bruised (may be a bit swollen though). I can bend my thumb if I try but it hurts so I'm avoiding it. Any pressure is relatively painful but the pain isn't unbearable, mostly my thumb just feels really weak. What doy ou think could be the problem, a fracture? A sprain? Any additonal advice. All opinions are valued. Thank you so much guys- xx
Bee sting on my thumb from two days ago won't stop hurting, feels stiff and slightly swollen?
I've never been stung before, and I'm not sure if it was a bee or a wasp or whatever. No stinger was in it and I didn't feel sick or anything so I didn't think I was allergic, but it's been two days and the swelling is there and it hurts bad every so often. Any advice?
I keep jamming my thumb, how can I make my thumb stronger. I play volleyball and I'm a setter?
There are exercise you can do to help strength your thumbs and fingers. You need a thick rubber band. About 1 1/1 to 2 inches wide. Big enough to put your thumb and the other fingers in it. You want it to fit a little tite around them. Than you stretch it out it to and open hand and close it. Repeat for about 5 to 10 minutes every other day. Then you can use hand weight,about 3 t0 5 pounds. You whole it from the end lift in up over your head or do lunge with it. It strength your finger and you thumb. Use it on both hands every other day. About 5 to 10 lunges at day.
I cut my thumb, badly, please please help!?
my second day of university, I'm a freshman, never left home before. just moved in, I don't have a first aid kit. when I took my new knife out of it's plastic binding, it didn't move where I wanted it too, and instead ended up cutting deeply into my thumb. it hurts horribly, and I'm bleeding a lot, very quickly. all I've been able to do is put pressure on it with toilet paper. will that be enough? how long should I keep pressure on? ow it hurts. I'm so homesick right now, and am crying my eyes out, what do I do???
Is my Thumb Broken or just Jammed?
Today is Tuesday. I hurt it Saturday playing basketball. First game it got jammed and hurt alittle bit, but i played through it. Then last game it got hit real hard when i went up for a rebound, and hurt like a son of a *****. After that i couldnt move my hand/thumb without pain. The next day i could move my thumb but it kinda hurts. Since Sunday my hand/Palm have been swollen and black and blue looking. I dont see anything poking out or anything, and i can move my thumb, but it hurts when i move it certain ways. So its been 3 days and pain seems alittle bit less but still hurts. I cant open jars or nothing with it. Cant even start my car with it. How long do sprains last like this or could it be fractured or broken? Any advice would be appreciated thanks! ( cant really afford a doctor right now... )
