What Causes Soreness In Thumb Post An Injury?
Question: I was closing the top of my plastic garbage can in my kitchen and the top slammed down on my thumb. I can bend the thumb but it is little sore. Could I have injured my thumb.
Brief Answer:
No worries, Take some advil for the pain
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
i read your question and i understand your concern. Slamming of thumb with garbage can with only soreness is nothing to worry about and injury to thumb is unlikely worrisome. Just take some advil and if there is some cut clean it, ash it with soap and put a saniplast on it. There is nothing to worry about it.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
