Finger sprain help??!
Question: Finger sprain help!?!?
I was playing dodgeball w/ my friends at school using a soccer ball (The chelsea soccer ball)!.Then,She threw it hard and i was about to catch it when it hit my middle finger and my middle index!.Now,Its all sore and i cant move it too well!.I can bend it but it kinda aches and i dont know what to do!.It kinda has a bruise on it and it cracks every time i bend the middle one!.I'd have to say that the middle finger is the most injured!.Both are bigger than my other fingers a bit!.I put ice on it and i made a cast-like thing using popsicle sticks and tape!.But it still hurts pretty bad!.What should i do to make it stop!?!?Im worried its more than just a sprain!.Im thinking it got dislocated or something!. If your wondering where i live,I live in the philippines so im in the middle of the school year right now!.

Answers:
If you had dislocated it, it would hurt a lot!. And you shouldn't be able to move it (in that case)!. If it just hurt but showed no other symptoms really, I would've said a sprain!. However, bruising is usual a sign that something has broken, especially in the finger!. I'm assuming your finger isn't bent funny (doesn't need to be set), so you can either go to a doctor or school nurse or you can splint the finger (I only recommend this if you can't access a doctor or other medical professional)!.
