Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My thumb is twice as big as it should be, my nail and parts of my thumb are purple, it is totally useless and hurts like a bitch and when I move my wrist I feel like screaming in pain. Do you think I have a fractured thumb? And should I visit my doctor?
I think you should see a doctor. It is not a fracture if you did not have a trauma. It might be an infection of the nail bed or tendonitis that needs further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Edvin Selmani
