Oh sh$t...I think I broke my thumb...

[KO]

I was boxing with a friend, gloveless, and my thumb popped at the joint at the bottom of the thumb. I dont think it is completely broken yet, because I was tucking in my pants with it, not paying any attention, and I felt it bend as if a little more pressure would have snapped it. It is right on the verge of breaking. What should I do? >

See a fucking doctor

i don't know about you, but i'm not a "going to a docter" type of person.

if you are you should go

if you aint, then i would just give it some rest a few weaks.
unless it aint in possition anymore, cuz then it will grow f*cked up.

had kinda the same thing with my middle knukle, and i could feel something was lose, and now i dont have any problems with it anymore.

Snap the other one back so you have matching stumps.




Really what are you expecting us to say? Go see a Dr. :

Apply ice to your thumb, and try not to use it for at least a week or so.

[KO]

I was hoping I could just let it rest instead of having to go to the doctor.

[Sturminator]

you may at least want to get an x-ray. if its fukled a little bit in there and grows back wrong then it will never be right again.

[Snakey]

If you want the best results then go to a doctor.
