Should I see the doc about this?
Hurt my thumb playing a bit of football with my friends yesterday and its swollen/black and blue on the MP joint . I can still move it, but its painful to do so and it makes a cracking sound as I do. I wasnt bent back but my thumb was bent inwards. Im just wondering if its broken or not and if I should see the doc.
Now that you mentioned it its purple as well.

I did the same thing last week with my pinky. At first I didn't think it was broken but maybe strained. After two days I went to the dic and it was broken. Yours sounds worse but not an "emergency", but you should see if there is a soon available doctors appointment or go to the ER. Even though its not an "emergency", they still usually recommend to go there. Definatley get it checked.

I fell and sort of dislocated my thumb. It cracked, I sort of reset it. It was swollen, black and blue and VERY painful for a long time. If you can move it, it's most likely not broken. If it's misshapen or PURPLE, get yourself to a doctor. Don't wait till it turns black, obviously.
It's probably just a bruise that will heal over (a long) time.
