Had a thumb injury about 3 years ago, what can i do for treatment?

Need more specifics: You neglect to mention whether it was a sprain, a fracture or whatever? If it was a fracture it typically heals in 4-6 weeks if it was a severe sprain usually involving the ulna collateral ligament, it can lead to some chronic instability which may be your problem hard to say more specifics without knowing your precise injury 3 years ago.
