torn thumb ligament... how serious?

[eddy vinagre]

i think i tore my ulnar colateral ligament in my right thumb, i dont think it is all the way torn but at least partially, anybody have any experience with this type of injury and how long a good recovery is, iv taken 9 days off from rolling and im getting stir crazy for rolling. i just started at my gym a month ago, but been on here for about a year, i got my first transition from back to spiderweb the day i hurt my thumb so im really eager to get that game going. any time table advice???

put some tussin on it and youll be fine

depending on how bad its torn and how old you are/how fast you heal could and most importantly how often you reinjure it . . could be 6 weeks.

I say tape it up and be conscious of it. Dont flex or stench it to test it, ice if there is swelling. I popped one on the underside of a finger and the tendon balled up into a clump, eventually it just dissolved away. Guess it was extra hand injuries take forever because you dont completely rest them. Dont do anything that hurts badly.

Of course see a doctor if you can.
