Sprain: This is a sprain and will take a week or so to heal. If black and blue discoloration develop, a torn ligament would be a possibility and it would be recommended to consult a hand surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, apply intermittent cold applications for a couple of days and avoid further strain on your thumb.
