Need treatment for pain in thumb due to a injury
Patient: Hello, recently I fell on my thumb and I heard it click very loudly. I can still move it normally but it hurts when I do move it and I did some research and I think I have Skiers Thumb but I am not sure. If there is any way to help treat this and make it better, please help? Doctor: Such injuries need immobilization in plaster cast for 3 weeks.i strongly recommend immobilization in my patients as it is very prone to convert in chronic pain which troubles for many years otherwise. It also requires radiological evaluation to see if surgical intervention is necessary
