Where about is the problem!? Mine was broken real close to the hand(last knuckle or first knuckle or whatever) and I thought it was just jammed!. It got swollen and blue all over and it lasted for a couple of days!. I then decided to go in and sure enough, it was broken!. Luckily,the way it was broken(splintered and jammed) I still has some support and was able to let it heal instead of requiring surgery!. Get it looked at!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
you can't use ice for 2 hours straight, that is really bad!. You have to have it on for 20 minutes, then off for 20 minutes!. Even if it is broken it is a pinky finger!. Just use medical tape and tape it to your ring finger, which is about all the doctor would doWww@Answer-Health@Com
