Best Answer

A clicking sensation at the base of the thumb is mostly due to a Bennet's or a Rolando's fracture of the thumb. This is mainly because of subluxation of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint of the thumb.

Ligament injuries are associated with pain and swelling but no clicking sensation.

There really is no way to tell if you broke your thumb, the only way to find out is if you get an x ray.

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.
