I have it too.  I jammed my thumb during football plus some falls on it skiing.  One thumb is about twice the size of the other one.  Feels nice.

I'm getting skier's thumb this season alot because there's so snow, so I spend most every day sitting on my fucking thumb.
Real sore, reallllll sore.

OP:

i get skiers thumb all the time. i hear if you tape your thumbs when you go skiing it will reduce the risk. i could see it working considering my thumb feels almost perfect when i hold it and put it under compression. ive yet to try it yet though, dont know why.

other than that, if it happens a lot, dont put your pole straps on. the reason it happens is because you fall with your poles in your hand (well thats how skiers thumb originally starts). the grip pushes on the webbing between your thumb and index and pulls some shiit (thats why it happens in the thumb and none of the other fingers). so if you can drop your poles before your hand hits the snow/ice, you shouldnt get it as often.

Broken my left thumb twice, and my right thumb once, all skiing. Honestly, its the best injury to have as a skier. Just take your pole in when you get your cast, ask them to form it so you can grip your pole, and continue to ski. Not a big deal.

I broke my thumb last weekend, and I had to go in and get a pin in it today. It sucks.
The only reason I even went to see a doctor was because ski patrol insisted, which was really good.

yeah happens to me all the time, constantly falling on my hands which usually results in thumb pain, usually gets better as the season ends, but some sort of brace in a glove could be a really good idea
