How do you know if you broke your finger?!
Question:
How do you know if you broke your finger?
3 days ago I was playing volleyball and really hurt one of my fingers. It was almost purple and very swollen and since then has gotten better, but it still hurts to bend it (I can bend it though) and is still swollen and red. It hurts to press on the joint just under the nail. and the if you look at the other side of the finger, the top looks bruised under the skin. Is it possible the finger is dislocated, fractured, or broken? Should I see a doctor? Like I said before, it has gotten better somewhat but still bothers me and is swollen and red.
Answers:
Go to the doctor.
your finger could be broken.
i broke mine cause it got slammed into a door at church.
and if it's not broken then put a splent on it and wrap it with an ACE bandage.
keep it on there for a week or so and then if it's still n ot better than find another doctor and see what they say about it:]]
Best Of Luck To You!
