I jabbed my thumb last fall. I went to my primary doctor. He took an xray and did not find anything. 4 months later the pain was continuing and was shooting down my forearm.
I went to an orthopedist, and he referred me to a surgeon because "it was too late for it to heal on its own"...the joint is unstable and/or there is a ligament detaching from the bone.
So I have to have surgery and wear a fiberglass cast from forearm to thumb, 4 fingers free, for most of the winter.
Any ideas on how to keep my fingers from freezing off?
