Thanks again for the good wishes fellas. Have identified the problem as the joint and the 1st metacarpal. Swelling went down and typing is easier, especially after all the officework I'm dragging myself through today. For some reason my "AWESOME" insurance isn't taken by a single orthapaedist in my area so I'm holding out until I can meet up with some of my doctor friends this week. Point being, it's not really *that* painful and I'm not cashing the 1k worth of accidental injury coverage on my insurance if they tell me to keep it wrapped and don't use it, nor am I driving an hour for them to tell me that this week. Along with my hand, I really busted my legs, shoulder and back up too so I don't want to move or really do anything, and according to my girl, I'm mildly cranky. I told her because I needed special healing from her. She didn't buy it. Oh well.
