Jammed Thumb Blues

Somewhen at the gym yesterday, I managed to jam my left thumb. Dunno exactly how, only that it got sore as the day went on, swelled a bit, and by evening, was bothering me enough I had to tape it, ice it, elevate it, yadda, yadda ...


My left thumb has been sprained so many times there's no connective tissue left that isn't scarred. I tape it before every silat class, but I haven't had a problem with it in the gym before. Of course, these days, I can literally sprain it taking my socks off, I'm not careful ...


I even put up a YouTube vid a while back on how to tape the sucker. Course, it doesn't do you any good if you don't do it ...





Live slow, die old, leave a hideous corpse ...
