A member asked:
Three weeks ago, i slammed my thumb into a wall. no swelling, discoloration, or restricted movement but very painful if touched. what could be wrong?

Possible fracture: It may be that you had a boxer type fracture that never healed. I recommend an xray and based on that treatment if fractured. May need thumb spica splint.
