Nothing Major. It will just swell a little. -------------------------------------------------------- It depends how badly it is broken, if the fracture is bad or the bone is coming through the skin, this could be serious......you need your thumb to function properly for the rest of your life - you need to go to your local accident and emergency unit and get it treated professionally.

What does it feel like if your thumb is broken?
Swelling, pain, lack of total mobility, a feeling of hotness, contusions and discoloration from hematoma. Note that these are also the symptoms of a bad jam or sprain. Broken thumb generally occurs near the junction of the thumb with the hand or the metacarpo-phalangeal joint. So a broken thumb is frequently accompanied with a dislocation or subluxation of this joint. Unless the fracture is unusually severe, and you can see angulation of the extremity, or ends of the broken bone (which is rare), there is no way to tell the thumb is broken without imagery. An xray at least is required to confirm.
