Muscle Contusion Hasn't Gone Down?
I got a muscle contusion on my right thumb right where the joint is that goes tothe hand (according to the doctor at the ER) a little over a month ago. Thing is that it still hurts. To where i still can't write like I used to and hurts when I bend it. How long does a muscle contusion usually last. I want to go to the doctor and find out if maybe I really did fracture it, but don't want to waste the time and money if this is normal

it does take a while to heal and if you had fractured it,it is to late now to do anything about it

Contusion always takes time to heal. Give or take 3 days from the day of injury. Soon the wound will take on different colours. Do not panic. Unless the pain is so unbearable as you can't even touch the skin on it, there is no need to panic. for the pain you can take a prescribed painkiller.However if there is any doubt in your mind, do consult with your doctor. Good luck!
