Broken Thumb Symptoms

My thumb is numb and it hurts the least common area, how do I know if it is broken?

Usually, they swell, bruise, and pain really bad, the more they may seem out of alignment. Sometimes fractures do not even appear on X-rays, but it is the best they can do to check. The Dr. will probably brace for you anyway, because it is damaged, even if it is not broken. When I broke my fingers, he would fight like a heartbeat in the night, I had to sleep with my hands in the air. Usually I'm asleep holding onto the headboard.

Hot, swollen and red and is extremely painful when pressure is applied.

Pain, pain, pain and more pain! Especially when you try to move the thumb. It may also be swelling and discoloration, but most of all, the pain!

exquisitely painful swollen thumb hurts, if you try to move it.The only way to confirm it by Ray ax

Well you must first know the trauma that could have fractured thumb. The thumb was swollen, painful, and perhaps bleeding caused deep he is black and blue. You already know that X can be confirmed, but there is not much other than letting it heal if it is actually broken.

Lots of pain!, Swelling, my suggesion is to go see a doctor, even if it is not broken ...

When you first feel a great pain .... then it is numb, maybe a little purple ... you need to make sure xray. Good luck.
