What Causes Swelling In The Thumb?

My husband has a painful problem with one of his hands. IT has been swollen for about a week and his thumb has turned black. He went to the emergency room but after many test said they couldn t find anything wrong, and sent him home That was about three days ago and now it seems worse than ever. He did have celluitis in the same arm about a month ago , caused by a small splinter that was removed.Are there any ansyers for him ? He is in a lot of pain.
