Broke thumb two weeks ago and hurts from time to time, is it healing?

Probably : Pain in a broken bone may take as long as 6 weeks to have no pain. The fact it hurts from time to time is not unusual. Thumb fracture are usually casted to preserve hand function. If you have further problems see your bone doctor.
