I am in agreement with all other answers. The only way to know if your finger is fractured is an x-ray. If it is fractured more than likely the doctor with just immobilize your finger and let it heel for 3 to 4 weeks. Depending on the severity of the injury you may be able to continue with normal softball activities. Much more less common is surgical repair, but you do not want to take any chances without getting a proper diagnosis from an orthopedic.
If you have access to a Licensed Athletic Trainer then see him/her first. He/she should be able to point you in the right direction. Continue ice treatments - No heat.
Best way to find out is to go see a doctor. If it's broken it will need to be treated or it will become deformed if you just leave it.
Go to a doctor..4 points plz!
only way you would be able to tell is to get an xray....
go to a doctor sweety, thats how you find out.
Go to a doctor.
It might be fooled(like just for a lil bit)
It might be broken .
Feel well soon.
Best Luck
