A member asked:
Could a grade 1 thumb sprain last for 7 weeks, or is this more serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your PCP: for evaluation, imaging and referral. 7 weeks is too long. If this ligament injury is not diagnosed and treated properly, it may lead to chronic instability, weakness, and ultimately arthritis and more unnecessary aggravations.
