Received blunt force to thumb side of the wrist. Has been a week now and there is slight swelling altho most has gone down since 2nd/3rd day. Bruises are green blue purple pink yellow but yellow hurts more. Stopped hurting on day 3 but then started hurting more with more use like playing guitar. Holding the arm with elbow bent at 90 degrees lessens pain but pain increases with arm pointed down at the side of the body. Hurts less to keep thumb from moving.
