instruction: hi doctor last week I fell and jammed my thumb into the floor it instantly hurt and I knew I had sprained or jammed something the next day my palm and the thumb muscle were swollen with a painful lump I could not grab or hold anything but I can move it around so I know it did not break it has almost been a week and is still very sore there is no pain in the knuckle and I still cannot hold heavy things and grab things on bending it is very painful I wanted to give it some time before seeing a doctor if it is just a mild sprain typing and working is very difficult so I was wondering if seeing a doctor would help or if it is just going to take time
output: hi for further doubts consult an internal medicine physician online
