I would suggest going to the hospital and getting it bandaged up so that you can't use your hand to give it time to heal.

I was drilling through the foundation of my house with a big 1/2" drill. The bit stuck in the concrete and the drill kept going and took me with it. I ended up with my thumb pointing the wrong way. The doc at the emergency room yanked it back into place and I thought I was all good too go home, then the doc says ok we gotta put a cast on my hand. I thought he was joking, my thumb felt perfectly fine. So they put a cast on, I had it for a month or so and boy did my thumb hurt. After they took the cast off they made a plastic hand glove thing for me to wear for a few weeks more.

The point to my story is that the hand needs time to heal, it might feel fine now but down the road a few years it might cause you trouble, I felt pains in my thumb area even a year after, especially in cold weather.
