Should you pull a jammed thumb??


Answers: Noooo, see a doctor!
nope.

let a doc do it
ask a doctor for advice on that, they should probably look at it to determine if it would cause more damage
Sure
No, this is a common mistake. People think that jammed fingers are dislocated fingers and try to pop it back into place. Doing this will only cause further injury. Even if the finger is dislocated, an non-medical professional should not try to right the joint.

Go to a non-critical care clinic and have them look at it.
See a doctor as soon as possible. Go to the emergency room if you want to.
