Old swollen finger , (WORRIED)?!


Question: Old swollen finger , (WORRIED)!?
I have a swollen finger that I got about 2-3 months ago!. It doesn't hurt though and I got it when i was tring to catch a ball and it bent my fingers!. The rest of my fingers stopped hurting on my left hand except the 1 next to my pinkie!. It started to swell and I didn't put ice on it right away , I waited a few hours to and put ice on it for the next week or so!. Some of the swelling went down but most of its still here!. It looks like I have a small ball on the top part of my finger and when i stretch out my finger it still looks swollen!.I tried to put ice on it so it would go down even though I hadn't put any ice on it for a while and nothing happen probably because I hadn't put ice on it for a while!. What should I do!? :)Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It might be this but im not entirly sure!.!.!.
I was bouncing a ball and i hit it with my little finger and the little fingure went back but the others didnt!. It was really swollen and bruised and is still hurt when i bent continuiously it or put alot preassure on it 6 weeks later so i went to the doctor and he said that i had torn a ligament!.
If your finger sounds like this youve probebly torn something and DONT bandage it or constrict it in any way because this will make the finger to take longer to heal and to assist is you should get one of those stress ball things and squeeze it in the hand with the hurt finger!. That will make sure that the muscles will stay strong while it heals because it can take upwards of 12 weeks to heal usually!.
But the best thing that i think that you should do would be to go to the docter!.
Hope this helps and Goodluck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
