My left thumb is currently swollen and from the knuckle up it is numb. The nail is completely sore and there appears to be either a bruise or infection under the nail. I have no sores or broken skin that I can see on my thumb. I have not smashed or injured my thumb. I can not get into the doctors office any time soon and I do not feel its worthy of a trip to the ER. Any advice would be welcomed.View Thread
