Does this sound like a broken finger? 10pts.?!


Question: Does this sound like a broken finger.? 10pts..?
In my basketball game the other day a player pushed me over and fell right on top of my finger...jamming it in a way. It's been 2 days...and I can't move it. I've been wearing a splint. It hurts...it's very swollen, and bruised. We might go to a doctor thursday. I really need to know! Thanks!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
If its crooked at the joint, its probably dislocated. If its crooked between joints, its broken. If it had just been dislocated, someone could pop it back, but since its become inflamed it can be severely damaged if treated at home. They're probably going to give you a local and snap it back into place. Its going to hurt no matter what, but if you go to a doctor, you won't have a crippled finger for the rest of your life. If you just leave it alone it will end up healing and they will have to rebreak it or redamage the tissue/tendons while fixing a dislocation. Go as soon as possible. ERs are there for a reason.Health Question & Answer

If your finger is broken, it would turn purple ,and If it is bruised, it will be blue, if it is red and like a hot pink color, it is Bruised and fractured. To make sure of your finger and you did say you were in a basketball game, you ARE covered on Insurance from the school which pays 100 percent coverage to whatever they do to your finger, Except cut it off, it was only a sprain or bruised, but the best advice is go to your doctor as soon as possible. As for me, I have done this many times in the past and I soak my thumb, or fingers in Epsom Salt for 10 to 15 minutes using very warm water, It helps some and Yes it hurts, but in due time It WIll get better, and next time Please be careful and always expect the unexpected. :) Have a great weekHealth Question & Answer

A stubbed/jammed finger could sometimes be more painful than
an actual fracture/break. None the less you should go to the hospital
and have the Dr./Nurse take care of you promptly.Health Question & Answer
