I think I fractured my thumb?
Hi, my friends and I were messing yesterday and one of my friends fell on my thumb. I don't know what way she landed on it, because it hurt like hell.
I can only bend it slightly, it is swollen, slightly bruised, and it hurts when putting any sort of pressure on it. Is it fractured? The pain, the bruise and swelling is in the lower part of my thumb at the knuckle.

The only way to find out it is fractured is to get a X-ray . Sounds like you sprained it badly when it got bent though . Use ice and a anti inflammatory like aspirin to lower the swelling.
