Okay, three years ago, I broke my humerus, and they said there was no nerve damage, but I can hardley bend my thumb unless I make a fist. Also, when ever I put even the slightest bit of pressure on it, my whole wrist hurts like heck! What is it? Should I get it checked out?

Another possibility is a non-union. At the time you broke your upper arm, perhaps you sustained some damage to your wrist. There are 8 small bones in the wrist that can break. It's hard to see on X-ray. Sometimes the diagnosis is made when a wrist just won't heal up. Below is a web site from the American Society for Surgery of the Hand that explains a lot about non-union fractures.
It does need to be looked at, probably by an orthopedic doctor that specializes in hands.

that doesn't sound like nerve damage, or you wouldn't feel anything, that sounds like tendinitis. won't hurt to see a doc, he might be able to give you some good suggestions for treating it and preventing recurrence.
