Any tips for how to avoid injury, or stretches and exercises to help heal an injured hand it finger, I have injured my left thumb.

How did you injure it? Is it a sprain? If it is you can try some stretching exercises here, it will usually take 4-6 weeks to heal completely

It could definitely be a sprain, I think it happened from continuous wear and then I pulled it doing something, thanks for the help!

My doctor always suggests soaking in ice water for 20 minutes (this is painful)...then let it warm completely up, then do it again. I would usually do this 3-4 times am and 3-4 times pm for the first 24 hours. After that it will feel much better and you can use heat pad or hot water bottle in the evenings for a few days.....

Ok I will give that a try, thanks!

I know for a fact that you can hurt your hands somewhat, especially tendons and the bones. I've never tried these, but I here they can help:

Not sure if this one specifically though.

Ok thanks! I've heard the virts talk about hand injury as well and doing exercises to prevent it.
