Quote: morleys_deckchair "has anyone on here ever broken a thumb? absolute agony. Your whole hand is effectively useless.. you cant grab or hold anything... may as well be a broken wrist.
a broken index finger, for example, can be strapped up and taped to the middle finger.. you can catch balls and make tackles like that.. it will still hurt mind.
i couldn't wipe my booty for around 4 weeks when i broke my thumb, let alone play rugby league.'"
Did you break both thumbs?
