Seems I'm constantly hooking, banging my exposed thumb off something even tho I'm in a half thumb spica cast. Still having substantial pain. Can I seriously re-injure my thumb or cause more damage?

I know what you mean about the thumb hooking on things. I recently had casts with thumb spicas. Fell and broke both wrists. Long casts with thumb spicas for 8 weeks, then short ones for another 6 weeks. My casts covered my thumbs to the tips, so they were not exposed. Maybe tell the doctor and he can extend your cast to cover the tip of your thumb.
