i made a boo-boo thumb

[swole]

Playing football on sunday. I went to tackle a dude and my thumb got jammed in between two people. When I looked at it i noticed the joint (where it meets my hand) was inverted.

Like a knee that was bent backwards.

I lol'd and showed my boy, who said pop it out so I did. I iced it and today it was made swolio. Got x rays it's a minor fracture but doesn't hurt and they put a thumb splint on it.

I'm probably only gonna be able to do legs and some other non-grip crap at the gym

i can probably do flyes on the pec dec and rear delts on the same machine

then i have no idea for other shit - any suggestions? i can still use the other 4 fingers and about 50% thumb power to grip so keep that in mind

maybe smith machine with light weight and false grip

lol @ this and the way my thumb joint was stuck inside my hand

***look at me, my thumb is on steroids***

I remember dislocating my thumb playing rugby years ago in a tackle. I couldn't wipe my arse properly for 2 weeks.

Now it sticks out a third of an inch more than my other thumb & is slightly more pronated. Weird!

Can you bench by resting the bar on your palms?

I have friends that can spot me with that type of stuff.

I'm going to an official ortho right now...we'll see how bad this really is. I have a splint but if he casts it I'm gonna fight him with my right hand.

I can still move it and everything, it's just swollen where my thumb meets the palm. Pain is like 2/10 with 10 being the worst.

I felt it was a clean jam and once I popped it back into place it was fine. Guess something could have cracked...however fine it might be.

simple solution
don't work out

I had that happen when I was a bartender. Longest weekend of my life.
