I broke my finger 2 months ago. I didn't think it was broke before, I thought I just sprained it. 2 months later it is still sore and now crooked. I went to the doctor, got an xray and it is broken, pretty nasty break on the xray. Anway what can they do now that it has healed wrong and produces pain?

Go see an orthopedist. They will be able to evaluate the break and your pain and put together a plan of action for you. They will sometimes rebreak it and sometimes they will do surgery on it or a combo. Good luck.

Probably have to put you under anesthesia, break the finger, reset it the right way...dont know if they'd put you under anesthesia but I bet the'd break the finger and reset it....
My best friend who has had her leg crooked her whole life from a fall down the stairs during childhood broke her leg recently and I guess they straightened the leg recently when she broke it again. It is healing well and we are hoping she will be able to walk better after she finishes physical therapy.

Most of the time when you have a broken bone and you let it heal in a strange way, if it is still giving you problems and painful then they will give you an anesthetic and re-break the bone and then splint it. That is probably what they will do for you.

If you do break a bone you want to get it set by a professional as soon as possible because if you wait around he may have to rebreak it in order to set it due to the calcium deposits.
He'll probably have to break and reset it if it's that bad.

when i broke my finger the doc said they cant put a cast on it (i knew that) they told me to tape the finger that is broken to the finger next to it. The doctor can also re set it.

set it.... and put a cast on it, unless it allready grew back togeather crooked.
If thats the case, they can rebreak it in that area and set it back straight.
I know this is how its done, and if doctors say "theres nothing we can do" then there just being lazy...

I would think they would refer you to an orthopaedic surgeon who would either re-break and set it, or perform surgery to reset the bones properly. Didn't your doctor give you any options?
