Hurt my thumb playing basketball
A couple days ago I was playing basketball and the ball hit my thumb and bent it back. It started to become red and bruised after it happened, so I wrapped it in gauze and put ice on it. Ive wrapped it for about 2 days now and it feels better, but still hurts. Should I get it checked by a professional?
