Finger bent sideways ..?!
Question: So I was at work and lost my balance, i put my hands out to stop my fall and caught my finger on a piece of wood , so my body weight went down on my finger bending it sideways. Hard to picture but anyway, I went to the doctor and had Xrays done, he said everything is fine but, (and everyone says this to me aswell) my finger is badly bent towards my middle finger from the middle joint, its also somewhat twisted .. any ideas what i can do to fix it up? It doesn't cause me any pain, just annoys me more then anything that the doc said it should fix itself.

It might be dislocated. I had the same thing happen to me when i was playing volleyball. You can pull it back into place, but it might hurt. I would get a second doctors' opinion.
you could have surgery to fix it. Report It
