Broken finger?

Question

I was playing dodgeball with my brother and I threw one. When I came through the tip of my finger smoked it(I threw it my hardess). It is about 45 minutes after the injury. Its not swollen up, but it hurts when I press on it and it is still warmer than all of my other fingers.

Answer 1

get popsicle sticks and dont bend. make a splint. that is just temporary. go see a doctor ASAP. maybe the fracture isn't just a crack. maybe there are bone chips inside the it might damage some nerves. go see a doctor ASAP

When you break a finger, fractures can occur in one or more of the bones. Healing usually takes 6 to 8 weeks. If you have a really bad break, your doctor may order an x-ray to see whether the break has healed.
Causes
Most broken fingers occur in a fall or accident.
Signs/Symptoms
Likely symptoms include swelling, pain, bruising, bleeding, numbness, or tingling of the injured finger. If the break has caused some bones to move out of place, the hand may look misshapen.
Care
You may need an x-ray. The doctor will probably apply a splint to keep the bones in place. If you have a serious fracture, surgery may be necessary. If you scratched or tore some skin, you may also need a tetanus shot.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

* Wear your splint until your doctor says you may take it off or until your follow-up examination. You may retape the splint if it gets wet. When retaping, make sure the splint stays in the same place and position.
* Apply ice to the injury for 15 to 20 minutes each hour for the first 1 to 2 days. Put the ice in a plastic bag and place a towel between the bag of ice and your skin.
* Keep your finger above the level of your heart whenever possible to reduce the swelling.
* To help ease the pain, you may take over-the-counter medicines. Take all medications exactly as directed by your doctor.
* If you are given a tetanus shot, your arm may get swollen, red, and warm to the touch at the site of the shot. This is a normal reaction to the medicine.

Call Your Doctor If...

* The pain or swelling gets worse.
* The injured finger is cold when the others are warm.
* The finger becomes swollen and very red.
* The finger turns white or blue.
* The finger is numb or tingling.

Answer 3

Probably just jarred. Pack it with ice for a while and tape it to the other finger and use it as a splint. remove the tape after 2 says. Unless it's grossly distorted ate the base or at a joint you may not have broken anything

To check that there is consistency with you affected hand place your palms together and make a comaprison to see that they seeem to be aligned the same.

Answer 4

Sometimes it takes a while for swelling to appear. Put ice on it, keep it elevated, get some sort of splint or tape and tape it up.
It's probably fractured or just jammed really bad. If it still hurts after a few days,then maybe you should go see a dr, but there's not much they can do.
