OK so about 6 weeks ago I broke my thumb. It was in a cast for 4 weeks which came off 11 days ago. When the cast first came off I couldn't move the little fucker at all but slowly the movement is coming back. It still hurts pretty bad mind and is very weak. And this is my question if anyone is qualified to answer or has any experience of this. My colleague has given me a sponge ball which he reckons I should be squeezing to build up the strength, however, all HTFUing aside, it really hurts to do this. He reckons this is part of the deal and I should squeeze on through the pain. I on the other hand tend to think pain = bad and could be doing more harm than good. Any advice?
Cheers.
