Broken Thumb Posted: 01-02-08 10:44am


I Broke my thumb nearly 4 weeks ago, it has been set in a thumb cast but is still really painful!!! i have not broken a bone before so am un-sure at how long it hurts for? I am probably being a little over sensitive but i was told (not by the doctor but by a friend) once the broken area is in a cast it should stop hurting after a couple of days, is this true? if so should i get in touch with my specialist and tell him its very painful?

it takes about 6 weeks for a bone to heal. take ibuprophen and give it 2 more weeks. then i would say something.
