Fractured thumb?

[GPTitle**]

Has anyone fractured a thumb doing BJJ and if so what was your recovery time like?

Not sure if my thumb is fractured but its been hurting for well over two years. I just deal with it and sometimes tape it.

I injured my thumb back in september I think and im not sure if it sprained or what happened but I've repeatedly injured it about 3-4 times since then and its just now getting back to normal so it shouldnt be that long if you dont injure again while its healing like ive done.

had a bad sprain. Doc recommended a thumb brace so I picked one up at Walgreens for about 20$ and continued to train one handed. Happend about 4 months ago and its still tight but not painful anymore.After about 4 weeks it did not bother me anymore

currently fractured... take it easy. make sure when you grip you dont use your thumb.

for safety reasons now i tape my thumb to my pointer finger

When did you fracture it and where?

I fractured the distal part of the bone in two places 3 1/2 weeks ago. I just took my thumb splint off 2 days ago and after moving my thumb as if I was cracking a knuckle the stiffness was largely relieved but I'm only at about 80% mobility and the bottom is still bigger than my other thumb because of the swelling. Just trying to get an idea as to whether or not the bone is probably healed yet and if I will have 100% mobility again soon.

i suppose it depends on the severity of the fracture, but i would assume about 3 weeks to a month.

fractured about a month ago, its sore from the wrist up, cant bend it much... but it probly doesnt help that i train 6days a week in bjj and 1 day judo.... so i get pretty abused
