I somehow manage to pop the knuckle of my middle finger out and I think it popped itself back in. Now its crooked and the bottom of the finger(where the knuckle it) is blue-ish. I cant form a straight finger at all with it. I can bend it, but it gives me a shocking pain. So, what can I do to it without going to the docter's?

The bone may have 'popped' back in, but the surrounding tissues, and possibly a tendon if you can't bend it, and a nerve if you have shooting pain are involved. I would definitely see an orthopedic Dr and it shouldn't be a big deal. I would take antinflammatories, Advil or Aleve in the meanwhile so the tissues can start to heal. Ice if it's swollen. Those will help the pain.
You don't want to end up with a permanently crooked finger, as it may heal incorrectly.

Your query involves no longer the slightest scrap of proof that could aid the concept that you're a overdue bloomer; your growth is one hundred% typical. Furthermore, no can expect your grownup top till you're a minimum of 21 years historical. This being the case, you would develop a pair extra inches. I knew a fifteen yr historical boy who was once five ft tall however he was once 6 ft four inches tall on his nineteenth birthday. Both of his father and mother have been quick and tiny. In any case, you will have to no longer fear approximately matters that you just are not able to difference. Only a few individuals ever develop chest hair, stomach hair and facial hair and those that don't develop any, are very fortunate. Since you may have pubic hair, you're constructing in general within the hair division.

Based upon your description, you really have no choice BUT to GO TO THE DOCTOR, if you want your finger to work again. It sounds like you've compromised your vascular supply to that finger - that's why its turning blue. You may have damaged the nerves as well.
I usually don't say this, because people misuse the ER all the time, but I'd go to your nearest emergency department right now if I were you.
