Hi! i recently was kicked causing my thumb to go entirely backwards it has been a week and we have seen no improvement. we know it is not fractured. i can not move it. there is also bruising on my palm. is there anything i should be aware of that could b

Thumb Hyperextension: First unless you have had it X-rayed you don't know there is not a fracture. Second, you likely have significant ligament damage that is not going to heal on its own. You need to be seen by a Hand Specialist soon. I would see your family doctor and get referred to an orthopedic hand specialist right away, having a fully functional thumb is very important!

Yes : You should be aware that after an injury that results in your not being able to move your thumb, you need to get it evaluated by your pediatrician, Urgent care, orthopedic surgeon, or the emergency room - not the internet.

Get eval: This can't be diagnosed with the information that is available. A history, physical examination & other studies may be needed to determine cause/causes. Once accurately assessed a treatment plan can be developed.

See a hand surgeon: You have a torn tendon and need surgery. If it is not done soon after the injury you need to wait for the inflamation to subside.
