has anyone ever broken a finger?

[captainbovine]

..I think I may have either chipped the top knuckle on my pinkie finger, but I may have only damaged tendons?

I have it taped to mt other finger but I'm getting some really bad stinging type pains after I have tried to use that hand.

Did you strap up your finger when you broke yours? should I just leave it on it's own?

can't be 'arrised going the doc....what do you think?

Strapped mine up when I broke mine ..................... but wouldn't recommend as I now have a very deformed bent digit and no knuckle

[captainbovine]

I think it's only the top bit on the outside of my finger but what was the pain like?

It's coming in waves and I've never known stinging/burning pain like it!!!

Sorry that your finger still isn't right CB.  If I were you, I'd go to A & E and see what they say.  Hope that it soon feels better.

You should have had it looked at by now. Naughty!

get yourself to A&E and let the professions decide. I ignored a toe injury about 7 years ago and ended up having an op last year.  Please don't put it off.  It may be nothing but you never know!!!!

Only an xray will show if it is broken, and the A & E dept will splint it properly if it is broken. Trying to treat it yourself will only encourage arthritis in the joint.

when I severed my wedding ring finger , pain was terrible , tendon was cut , had an ex ray next day at A&E , had an operation ,the top of my finger now is not perfect not a 100 % straight , feeling never the same... advice is your finger still breeding? keep your hand up put it in a sling, take nurofen tablets. you will have a bad night sleep ,go to A&E a.s,a,p.

[lemons46]

your finger will be bruised , this will also throb badly.

[stan3502]

No stinging or burning when I did mine CB bt was quite clearl broken as when I poited North my digit still wen't south .

As others have said with the pain you are describing get yourself to A&E and sort an x-ray out then let them deal with it

You really don't want a wierd pointy out over curved finger like mine

[bitsnknots]

Have you been to A & E CB?  I jolly well hope so.

[ed_blackadder_1]

You had better go woman because we are only going to keep nagging you.

[bitsnknots]

Too true ed.

[stan3502]

Well Cb have you been ................... well have you ??????

Ar you sorted ?

[bitsnknots]

I am wondering if she has been to A & E and is now having trouble typing.

[bitsnknots]

Why why why have you not been to the hospital CB?  For crying out loud get there ASAP please.

[**towery**]

being a diabetic i thoight  you were advised not to take things like breaks and possible fractures more seriously?

[captainbovine]

well I worked out what the stinging pain was...I had a lolly stick splint on and it was rubbing up against the side of my finger ans stinging.....what a dope.

It was swllen today at the top of my finger so I've just strapped it up and it's much more comfortable.

thanyou for worrying about me...I'm fine honest.

Stroppy...I have arthritis in my hands anyway...and I'm accident prone, gawd as I get older I end up more and more like a 2yr old hahahahaaaaa
