Shooting pain right where I broke my thumb at
I have an appointment on April 4th to see if it's healed. I'm 13 years old and can't get to the doctor any earlier. I've been icing my hand whenever I get to it and I've been taking painkillers but they don't do a thing.
Could my thumb still be broken?
What will the doctors do for it?
I know I already asked this question but I would like more answers! So not rude answers please! Also if you have already answered this question before please dont answer. Thanks!
Answers:
Sometimes doctors can be dumb. Make it *very* clear how much pain your in. Tell them you absolutely need answers. I know that can be hard when your 13 but do your best. If your doctor isn't helping you I would go looking for another. There are plenty of good docs out there but there are also some real turds as well. Good luck!
You're asking for 'no rude answers' yet you feel the need to call me a r***** and a jackass on my question when I wasn't actually trying to sprain my ankle on purpose? And you'd already answered my first question yet you answered the second, too?
Hm.
if your in a lot of pain consider going to the hospital..they will look at the xrays very carefully
