Torn cartilage?!


Question: Torn cartilage!?
I hurt my last three fingers a month ago because me and my friends were being dumb and yeah!. All of them were hurt at the knuckle!. All are healed completely but my pinky hurts if I mess with it or bend it too much!. I think its torn cartilage so I bought a finger splint today!. Hopefully now that the finger is immobilized the cartilage will have time to heal!.

How long will I have to keep the splint on!? Do you think its Ok if I take it off for 2 to 3 hours a day to practice my violin!? Its on my left hand and not playing is not an option haha!. At the drugstore I saw these little finger sleeve things that athletes use that still supports the injured finger but lets you move it a little bit!. Should I give those a try!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
