[header] How to diagnose a broken thumb [title] Note any severe pain in the your thumb. [step] It is normal to experience severe pain right after you break your thumb. The pain happens because your bones have nerves surrounding them.
They vibrate the top of your thumb in an attempt to detect the damage you have caused. [substeps] You may be able to identify the problem by feeling it. When a bone breaks, it can irritate or compress the surrounding nerves, which causes pain. If you don't experience severe pain right after the injury, there is a chance that your thumb is not broken. The pain can begin in your left hand and radiate outward into the right one or vice versa. Because of this pain, hold your hands in a closed position for a few minutes to help reduce the pain. These nerves give you an electric shock, causing pain. When you break your thumb, the nerve is forced to go into the bone, resulting in pain.
