Pain on my index finger?!


Question:

Pain on my index finger?

I was playing basketball and my friend passed the ball to me, exept it hit my index finger. I had a mild pain but it gone away soon after so I continued playing. Now, it hurts whenever I touch the sides of the bottom part of the idex finder. Is it a serious enough problem to go to the doctor, or how can I treat it at home and what is the problem?


Answers:

It may be jammed or a little sprained. Don't over extend it for a day or so. Try not to pick anything up or put pressure on it. Try an ace bandage. If you go to the doctors, that is all they may do anyway. If it doesn't go away after a day or two, or you feel you need to go to the doctor, then you should definitely go.
