Definitely. Since you were hurt on the job, work comp should pay for the bill. Did they give you antibiotics? Sometimes, when they x-ray you immediately after the injury has occurred, the swelling may hide a fracture. Definitely advise getting rechecked. Good luck.

It's only been a few days...I know it hurts (I fell down a flight of stairs once and sprained three of my fingers), but if it was broken, you would probably be in very intense pain by now. It's going to take a few weeks for it to heal. If you really don't believe the X-Ray, though, and you would feel more comfortable getting another one, then go ahead - it's your decision.

Not really, the nerve probably got damaged thats why you feel something moving under there.

I would suggest you make an appointment with your regular doctor. OR just walk in

Usually at that point I would recomend chewing it off. But don't. You should be fine. Is it your middle finger cause that would be funny.

um, i say yes, but go to a different hospital if possible, the first hospital might ignore you or blow you off if they see that youve been here before.
