you should consult a physician. In the meantime, do not try to move you finger. I would put a splint on it made out of toung depressers and an ace bandage. But, rember, don't move it. Any strain could cause further damage. talk to your mom and tell her what is wrong and have her make a doctors appointment or drive you to the nearest hosptal.

You might still have some injury to the soft tissue that hasn't completely healed. Some injuries can take up to a year or more to completely heal.
Try taking some Tylenol and see if it helps the discomfort.

my guess is damage to a tendon, they can hurt for over a year if you don't give it enough rest. Just avoid using that thumb for as long as you can and it will start feeling better.Good luck.
