Sorry another question about a jammed finger?

I posted a question about seeing a doctor and I have had my mother look at it. she's a nurse. the swelling is almost gone now. but I still can't bend it all the way. I can type for a littler while now. I pulled on it and it popped really loud but its not any better is this normal. should I be able to straighten and bend it now even with pain?


Answers:

Sorry about your injured finger. If it was broken and even if you only jammed it, it will take time for it to get back to "normal". It is not a good thing ot pull on your finger. You could cause further injury. The pain is normal. An injury involving your hand will probably not seem to heal as quickly as we would like. Since you may have caused more injury by pulling it , I would check with the doctor. He may want to xray it. Another option would be to have the doctor to prescribe physical therapy to help you to obtain normal range of motion. They physical therapist will give you exercises to practice at home. You may want to use ice for pain. Remember. put a cloth or other type of barrier so not to harm your skin. With ice, you also put the ice on for 15 minutes, off for 15 minutes. Please check with your doctor before , you want to get better, not to cause more injury.
