Did I break the bone in my thumb?

I was trying to crack my knuckles, and I was trying to crack my left thumb & it wouldnt crack, so I kept putting force on it, then I heard a loud snapping sound.. Kinda like bone breakingg. It doesnt hurt super bad.. so?

Answer #1

Seriously. I highly doubt it.

Answer #2

That was probably just a really big crack. You wouldn’t be sitting down to write this question if you broke your thumb. Believe me.

Answer #3

i think youll be fine..but if it becomes brusied or starts to hurt tomorrow to. then i would go to the doctor

Answer #4

The only real way to know is to have an x-ray. If your thumb doesn’t really hurt, and if it can bend okay, then you’re probably fine. Your thumb most likely just cracked really loud.

Answer #5

If it doesnt hurt, its not swollen and you’re not having any trouble with movement I doubt you have done any serious damage. Your bones are pretty strong so they should be able to withstand the sort of pressure you are talking about. I would think the sound would be just the gas releasing.
