Geoff, Only use ice during the first 48 hours. Do NOT use heat. At this point, that will only make it worse. Also, Aleve is a better anti-inflammatory than Advil or Aspirin. DAMHIK all these things... :-) I wish you a quick recovery... Rob McCall On Dec 07, 2010, at 22:41 , Geoff Sykes wrote: > No questions here.

I swear I saw stars. And my thumb instantly turned black-n-blue. Funny, (ha ha), how we forget just what pain feels like until it comes again. I took aspirin. I’ve tried ice. I’ve tried heat. My thumb isn’t responding to any of it. Nothing is broken. It just hurts like H***. > > Thank you for reading this.
