Jammed Thumb
If you can't move your thumb or it's too painful to move, check with a physician. Put ice on it for 20 minutes to reduce the swelling. Wrap it in a splint or bandage to immobilize it. Use an anti-inflammatory agent such as ibuprofen to help with the swelling. For more helpful tips, visit, http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/98081-overview.
