ok i hurt my thumb 6 days ago and right when it happened it turned green and bruised right away and it became swollen. i iced it and a few days later the swelling went away. i just figured i jammed it but now 6 days later it is still bruised all different colors. i can still move it and bend it andeverything but if you touch it in a certain place it hurts really bad. could it be fractured or even broken or what?

Like not broken or it would throb all the time. Bad sprain. I bet you hyper-extended it and the bruise is on yourpalm at the base of the thumb- right? The key while it heals is protection from getting banged around or bent back. Someone could make you a splint or just be really careful for a couple of weeks so it can start to heal.

Fractured is a synonym for broken - they mean the same thing. It is possible that you have a hairline fracture/break or other fracture/break. Time to see your doctor.
Best wishes and good luck.
