Bruise: You probably have a bruised thumb that should gradually resolve. If it does not resolve in another 2 weeks, then see your physician for examination and possibly some investigations.

Still healing: So now it doesn't hurt continuously, only when you use it... Its still healing but sounds like it continues to improve. Let is heal. You might need a splint for a while to keep you from aggrevating it.
