Sprain vs fracture: Hi there, I have a few questions; how did you injure it, where on your thumb is the pain and did you have an x-ray to rule out a fracture? It sounds like a sprain which can take about 4 weeks to heal, but without more info i can't be sure.

Dr Michalski and another doctor agreed
