Question: How do you tell the difference between a broken and a sprained finger!?
I hurt my finger a week ago now playing softball, and it is still very stiff and swollen and the knuckle is still bruised!. I am just wondering if I should head to urgent care and get an ex-ray!. Please let me know what I should do!. thanksWww@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You will need to immobilise that injured finger and really rest it!. I think you have a torn ligament from your notes!. Give 3 more days in the immobilised state and if its not getting better!. See a doctor for meds and proper cast!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I found a website that has a step by step walk through to see if you have a sprain or a break!. Now the website talks about the ankle, but I'm sure you can look at it with your finger instead!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
