It’s been 45 days since I fractured my thumb. Is it normal for all five fingers to be swollen?

Forty to fifty days after a thumb fracture, swelling of all five fingertips is usually normal. Generally after trauma leads to fracture, injury fracture at the same time, muscle soft tissue, and the broken end of the blood vessels will also be damaged. And there is a post-injury blood circulation disorder, hematoma around the affected limb, tissue fluid exudation increased. After the fracture of the surrounding soft tissue repair, as well as vascular microcirculation recirculation, the longest needs 3~6 months. When a fracture occurs, some patients have a longer period of swelling of the affected limb. When swelling of the affected limb occurs, physical therapy can be given, such as local hot compresses to promote lymphatic and venous return, elevate the affected limb to reduce edema. Oral blood circulation drugs can also be taken to accelerate local blood circulation and reduce swelling. Enhance the functional exercise of the joints around the injury. If you have any of the above conditions, we suggest that you go to a professional orthopaedic clinic to avoid delaying your condition.
