i think i sprained my thumb at my soccer game Wednesday and it has become very hard to grip anything, which blows the majotiry of my upper bpdy workout until it heals. anyone else ever sprained a thumb and know how long it takes to heal?

Yes.. it does take a while, ice it to speed up recovery. You can still do pressing movements with the Smith Machine.. where the bar should be at your palms anyways.. no need to wrap thumb around. Be careful if attempting this.

Speedy recovery!
