I have to wear a wrist splint :(

[BobSevenSevens]

Heres the story:

In gym class, we were playing basketball. I got the ball passed rather hardly to me and my thumb was jammed really hard.

The next day, I have the day off from school. It was swelling and bruised, so I ice it all day. My mom says, "I'll call the doctor tomorrow."

Thursday (today), My mom pulls me out of school halfway through it to get my thumb X-rayed. In my head, I'm like "Wtf?" So, I get it X-rayed and take the X-ray pics to my doctor.

Lucliky, the results were negative.

So, she starts pressure testing my thumb. She pushes on one spot and I say "Oww!" She says to my mom, "That was his growth plate. That shouldn't hurt." So, she says no gym :(, and I have to wear a brace. Also, I have to see a hand doctor/suergon. The brace looks like this:

Hope that I wont have to get surgery on my hand!

Anyway, this sucks.

Ouch, your growth plate? That sucks.

[Poiuyt]

Well, that sucks. I've had to wear a splint before...after the cast.

And this is why you don't play sports.

And this is why you NEVER USE YOUR HANDS EVER.

Wat.

My thumb was jammed once too in the exact same way as you explained and it healed itself.

I saved $300 by waiting it out.
