The Phalanx bone on my thumb appears as it is pushed forward more than it should be, is there any way to fix it?

Asked by LeopardGecko (1237points) January 1st, 2010

I was playfighting with my brother a couple years back and hurt my thumb in the process. I went to a doctor and he had dismissed it has it being sprained. Whenever I put my two hands together and stretch my thumbs back as far as they can go, my left thumb goes further towards me than my right. There is a noticeable bump where the phalanx connects to my metacarpal bone as well, making it more angled inwards than my other thumb. I can’t place it over my fist as well as I can my other thumb and sometimes if I hit it against something it will make a “pop” and I’ll have terrible pain.
