Got into a fight a month ago and sprained my thumb. It's still slightly swollen and I can't put more than 20lbs of weight on it without pain. Should I get a splint or wait it out?
P.S. Got an X-Ray. Not broken, not torn.
Edit: Wat do NMisc?

Stop being a *******. I broke my left index finger a month ago. No splint or anything (hate that thing). I've maxed on DL twice since then.
Only thing it affects is my ability to play guitar.
Also I think my finger will heal up crooked which kinda sucks.IIFYM - not even once.

I broke my thumb like 3 weeks ago.
Not a single fuk was given and I Deadlifted a week later.
Hurts but only for the lift movement and a little while after.
Splints are for *******s too. Go all natural bruuh. Paleo thumb.

Story about fight here. -------> http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=139644443 I can do every excersice but pressing movements. Like flat db press and shoulder press. In my defense, the guy asked me where the payphone was literally about 25 times. I told him in detail 25 times and he still wouldn't leave me alone. Just another drunk cocky manlet trying to pick a fight with the biggest guy he can find.Originally Posted by PhiSig2298

I enjoyed the Misc comment about him tearing off half your bicep... hahaha.
Either way, ice it and lift anyways. Maybe wrap it when you lift so it is mostly immobilized.
