How can you tell between a break and a sprain when you hurt your thumb? I am in lots of pain and cannot move my thumb since yesterday....its only gotten worse and I am not sure if I bent it right back or straight forward, but it really hurts.
Do they do anything at the hospital for broken thumbs or would I be wasteing my time by going to the ER?
I have never had a finger injury so I am unsure of what to do. I was also told that if the area or finger you hurt swells and does not bruise that it is broken...is this true?
Anyone with a little knowledge...help me out here. Thanks in advance.
