Right now both of my thumbs are sprained. Do any other newschooler's sprain their thumbs skiing, if so how often?

My doctor also told me it's gamecocks thumb (google it) he said to me and I quote "Unless you get surgery on your thumb, you'll never be able to move it past 45 degrees" i put my thumb in a splint popped some advil and iced it from time to time and it was 100% better in about 3 maybe 4 weeks.
