I cut my thumb and got 6 stitches 4 days ago and i am not able to bend my thumb at all. i can move it back and forth. is this normal.

Thumb: Depends on where the laceration occured on the thumb. If you can't bend it then one would worry that you may lacerated the tendon. I would see the doctor that repaired your thumb or see an ortho doc.
