Thumb injury - Should've Gone Sooner! At my grandson's soccer game, I tripped and fell. I caught myself with my hand when hitting the ground, which "sprained" my thumb. I read up on what I should do, and the internet said it could take awhile to heal. So, I tried to be patient. However, still painful after 6 weeks, I went to an urgent care. They took XRAYs, verifying what I already knew - nothing broken. They referred me to an orthopedic hand specialist. More XRAYs, Prednisone for inflammation, as well as a hand brace to "rest" my thumb which was worn for 2 weeks. No help! After another month, it was suggested to me to check out QC Kinetix. Well, I did, and I am SO GLAD I did! They gave me a one-time injection (4 spots) in my thumb. After the soreness of that wore off, I am PAIN FREE! It was 3 months of waiting for my thumb to heal on its own before I was treated by QCK. All I have to say, I should've done it sooner!
