I sprained my right thumb last wednesday while wrestling a friend. A couple hours after wrestling is when I noticed the pain. Thursday night both my wrist and elbow got inflamed. After binding my thumb and wrist to keep it still the inflammation went away. I took it out of the restraint to check it a while ago and it still hurts, but not severe.
