    It hurts so bad!

    I was playing footie with mates and my mate kicked the ball and it made contact with my thumb and we all heard a horrible crack! :eek:
    Now I don't think it's broken because I can move it. But right now its swollen up good and is difficult to move.
    Boo-urns to sprains, I say! Boo-urns!

    The sponge is no good, OP if you drink some Lucozade you can recover from any injury in record time

    You mean your magic sponge is CSG.

    Don't mean to be all negative but That doesn't mean anything tbh. I know a bloke who walked around for 2 days on a broken foot with not much pain. Feeling or hearing a snap, pain on gentle pressure, swelling/deformity, difficulty moving it. They can all be signs of a fracture.

    Uh-oh spaghettios! Still all they can do for a fractured finger or thumb is wrap it up, so I should be alright *fingers crossed*

    I always wondered what would happen if someone kicked you up the as while your thumb was firmly stuck up there.


    Now I know

    I fell and broke my leg playing football a few months ago(nasty break) and did my crucite ligament at the same time, we all heard the snap and the pain confirmed it was fairly ****ed, but one of my mates insisted on pouring a bit of water on it cos it would "make it better", he seriously thought the magic water would fix what 2 surgeries had to fix!

    I broke a fingy before and it took two days for me to realise. Well of course it hurt but nothing out of the ordinary. I was doing something with the finger and I sneezed :D

    I broke a toe twice when I was a yungun and they healed in no time, on a more neagative note my brother inlaw broke a bone in his foot over twenty years ago and did nothing about it, He's just been told he has very sever arthritis in his foot as a result of having a break or fracture and doing nothing about it, he's a cripple in other words.So get yourself down the hospitable young lad, off ya go now.

    Well this morning its just stiff and still sore, but I've broken enough bones to know when I've broken something and with this I feel its just a sprain. But cheers for all the advice people.

    A combination of a hacksaw and generous amounts of duct-tape can fix any problem. Just make sure you apply them in the correct order, you don't want to ruin your duct-tape.

    it wasnt a magic sponge, it was spongebob in disguise. You pleasured Spongebob with your broken finger bones.

    I hope you're proud of yourself.

    Go to doctor, it may take days of even weeks for something like that to properly manifest itself.
