A member asked:
I bumped my thumb a week ago from trying to move a piece of furniture and it still hurts slightly when stretching it out, though the amount of pain has been diminishing. just now stretched it up and down and it feels much better. any worries?

Typically that is consistent with tight muscles/tendons/ligaments post being initially injured with the bump and now tightening up when not using it. As long as the thumb functions completely normal after it is stretched out, then likely not a problem to worry about. It can take often weeks to not have periods of tightness however.
