thumb hurts alot?!1?

Question

i fell down the stairs (because somebody pushed me) and i landed on my thumb and it really hurts. should i get it checked out?

Answer 1

of course because you never know what happend so if it deos not stop hurting then go see a doctor

Answer 2

That sounds like a good idea especially if it's discolored.
I know it sounds ridiculous but my friend's fingers started going numb and it turned out that something was wrong with her spine--she had to have surgery and everything. This wasn't caused by falling down the stair but my point is that you might have caused less apparent injuries.

Answer 3

Yes you should get it checked out even if its just a hair line fracture it can cause terrible pain and on the long run if you do not get it fixed when you get older it will turn arthritic and painful I know I broke my pinkie toe and now it thinks its the weather man lol

Answer 4

If it starts to swell and does not stop hurting, then yes. I once fell down the stairs and broke my toe.

Answer 5

yes. you probably broke it, and thumbs are the only finger that needs to be put in a cast if it is broken. i broke a finger last year and it was never put in a cast. it still hurts today. you should get it checked out.

Answer 6

If it is not swollen and it works ok, then you can probably just get a finger brace and keep it immobile for about a week to see if the pain gets better. If swelling or brusing, then get it checked by a bone specialist.

Answer 7

yeah its even a possible you can have the bone under the thumb broken

Answer 8

Did you bruise your thumb. Sometimes bruises don't show up on the thumb.

Answer 9

Well Yes

Answer 10

i believe you should. you could've broken or fractured it.Anyways I'm asking how the heck did you land on your thumb???
