Question: My mom thinks she broke her finger and has decided to use two popsicle sticks and a rubber band as a splint.?

I told her she should have the finger looked at by a doctor just to be sure it’s okay but she doesn’t want to go. Is this popsicle thing going to work or should she see a doctor?

Answers:

They don't actually do anything for broken fingers or toes they just strap them up so the popsicle thing will work just as well. If you see no improvements then consider seeing a doctor about it

Own expierence

apply some ice in a tea cloth for 15 minutes it should bring up some swelling if you can see it looks different to the finger on the other hand go up to A&E to get medical advice it better to be safe.

my own knowledge

What difference does it make, do you have any authority to MAKE her see a doctor?

It's her choice and decision. There is no law that says she has to pay a doctor lots of money, just to satisfy you or other people.

DOCTOR! the bone can heal wrong and then lead to further problems! At that point it will take surgery to correct.
