Question: What is wrong with my daughters thumb?!?!? Please help I'm very scared!?
My 12 year old daughter broken the sesamoid bone in her thumb 9 weeks ago. It was a complete fracture and it was separated a little. She was put in a cast for three weeks and got it off on february 28th. She's in no cast or anything right now. Shes still in lots of pain. Here's her symptoms.
Swelling of whole hand
Little bit of bruising
Tingling in thumb and index finger
Non-stop throbbing in thumb
Coldness in thumb at times
Unable to move thumb and index finger
Twitching in thumb which causes lots of pain
Aching up whole arm and hand
Thumb looks kinda dislocated
She sees her orthopedic doctor on Monday. I've been icing her hand and given her painkillers. But she's still in much pain.
I personally think it also might be dislocated too and might be pressing on a nerve.
Could her thumb still be broken?
What else could be wrong?
What will the doctors do?
