heres the deal...my thumb was dislocated and put back on monday, but now from looking at it I think the knuckle is a litle crooked. Could it be swelling that is making it look funny? if its from the dislocation is it too late to correct it? Will it bother me long??

Are you keeping your splint on and resting that hand ?You need to keep it elevated,and be using a cold-pack for any swelling or pain. The joint could be unstable,and slip out of alignment again,due to stretching of the ligaments etc. See your MD if this does not improve. Take care SW RNP

Dislocated and put back where? If a doc had done it, he/she would have splinted it.
Go to the doc, and get it taken care of. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to correct.
It will bother you forever, if you don't.
