Is my pinky finger broken or sprained?!
Question:
Is my pinky finger broken or sprained?
I hurt my pinky finger really bad yesterday playing basketball. Its swollen and blackish/purpulish, i cant tell if its broken or sprained. it hurts when i try to make a fist or spread my hand out, its getting really big and i dont know what to do. i can move it around with little pain but if i try to make a fist it starts to hurt, is it broken or sprained? what should i do? thank you.
Answers:
ok, stop making it hurt by moving it. You need to stabilize it.
First, eat a popcicle on a stick.
Lick the stick til its clean.
Wash it up.
Place one or two popcicle sticks on either side of your hurt pinkie, and tape it into place.
You can use gauze or cotton balls to cushion the sticks.
