A member asked:
How long does a sprained thumb last? grade 1? grade 2? grade 3? any ideas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weeks to months: The more severe the injury, the longer the recovery. Grade 3 may require surgery. Immobilzation is often helpful for several weeks. The exact. Grade is necessary to determine the best treatment.
