Do you think i should go to the doctor for my sprained thumb?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes especially : For a common injury to the mcp joint an ulnar or radial collateral ligament. While splinting may be used for some of these others with a complete rupture can need surgery and often do better if that surgery is offered earlier.
