[|Human|] I injured my thumb, bent it backwards, about 2 years ago. It got better after about 6 months until I injured it again. It s the meaty part of my thumb, causing me to not be able to do basic things, grab or write, without pain. What could be the problem and what type of doctor do I need to see?
[|AI|]  Hello I have studied your case, I will advise doing MRI and rule out any ligament injury in your thumb. There is possibility of injury to ligament of metacarpal or flange joint. If you are having swelling and pain you can strap your finger to get proper rest to joint. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
