I sprain my thumb in volleyball and it hurts all ways that i bend it. Does that mean I could do either way

Thanks!! I sprained my thumb 👿 this helped because my parents don't believe me!

[@SportsLife-qd9pe]

I had injured my thumb and wrist a couple years ago and it's been hurting a lot lately, this helped a lot. Thank you!

[@FlyingFireWorks]

thanks this was really helpful. I sprained the inside of my thumb while hitting for softball and I needed a wrap that wasn't too thick and had mobility. I have a game tomorrow and I need to be able to hit without too much pain. Had to make little adjustments so I can grab the ball and bat.

Thanks for the video. I have hypermobile thumbs and get pain when I lift weights..even light ones. Should I tape them up before I exercise? Does that affect muscle development?

[@TheLilgirlswagg]

I can wrestle with this?
