If a broken thumb is left untreated, it can lead to complications such as infection, which may result in fever and possibly systemic symptoms. However, rashes are not a direct consequence of a broken bone. Gangrene is a serious condition that can occur if an infection spreads and blood flow is severely compromised, but this is relatively rare. Prompt medical attention is essential to avoid these complications.

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.
