Subject: Finger injury?Ok..I feel like a wuss for even asking this. I torqued/jammed/bent my little finger back over 6 weeks ago. It is still very swollen and bruised at the middle knuckle and hurts to grip, bend, twist, pull, bear weight, or push on the tip. I had an amateur x-ray at the chiropractor and we didn't see any breaks or evulsions, but a radiologist never looked at it. Is this worth even seeing a doctor about? Can there be long term effects from this? Should I just splint it for 4 weeks and see what happens? It's really a non-critical finger, but it hurts. Am I being a baby? |
