Three days ago, I jumped off a swing. I had my camera around my neck on a lanyard. When I landed, my camera slammed into the lower part of my thumb, around where it connects to your wrist. I had immediate pain, and I put ice on it. There is a small bump where it hit, which hurts to touch, along with other areas around my hand. It is swollen, but not really bruising. I have practically full mobility, but it does hurt. If I let my arm hang, or allow my hand to go below my heart, it hurts, and somewhat throbs. Ibueprophen is somewhat helping. The pain goes down into my wrist, and up my hand. Is it possible I have a hairline fracture? I’m thinking of going to the doctors, but not sure if it would just be a waste of time…Any suggestions?

It could be a sprain, or it could be a hairline fracture. See the doctor to get an xray. Otherwise it may become swollen and very painful if not taken car of.
