Me and my cousin were riding this 4 seater bike at the park(two older kids or adults in the front and two small kids in the back).we were sitting side to side with two other kids in the back and peddlaing.we went downhill and then lost control and i rolled out.I didnt get hurt much,only a small bruise on my knee and i got my pinky jammed.its been 2 days and its swelled up and a little gray(really little) at the middle of swelled spot.it moves but not entirely up and down and hurts a bit when i try to move it up and down,mostly down.it does not hurt though when i move it a little.what should i do?should i immediatly go to the doctor?will something really bad happen if i wait a bit?can i wait about 1-2 weeks to see if it heals?it kinda feels like a bump or a bug bite but sort of different.also i fell out on flat ground,not on the hill thing

it is not extyrmely gray.its hard to notice.im pretty sure its not anything serious cause once my finger had a grey bump that was hard to notice and also i got a grey bump on my leg while i was riding my bike.im not sure wat it is really.i dont know for sure if its gray,too hard to see.it looks like a jammed finger and feels like it

i have done that many times. just ice it, and let it heal itself. u can also tape it (not to tight tho) to give it more support. the color should go away in a couple days, and the swelling should go down within a week

Go see the High School nurse if you have one or visit your
local fire dept. they have an E.M.T. on duty at all times. He can
tell you if it is broken or not, impossible for anyone on here to
tell you without seeing or feeling it. If it was broke you would be
in a great deal of pain with the slightest movement or touch.

ice it to help take down the swelling, and if it hurts to move it, tape it to the next finger for support. If you are able to move it, its probably just a bad bruise or sprain.

if you know for a fact it is only jammed or bone chipped, buy the right size finger splint at any store where available and wear it until the finger heals....sometimes takes a few weeks for complete healing....

It's probably broken, especially if you see brusing like that. If you dont' go, you might lose mobility in your finger.

go see a doctor. youve got a kinda clot. also if its grey it means the blood has died and is all dry so i recommend you see a doctor

just slam your toe in the door ...it will take the focus off your finger !

jamming your finger usually isn't a very serious problem.
