3 days ago i Went to go do a dunk on my hoop. I was holding on to the hoop and then i started to fall. Before i fell i turned my body so i landed on my hands. But when i fell on my hands they all back backwords. My hand started to swell and now i have bruises on my palm. The weird thing is i can close my hand. But when i put a little pressure on the bottom of my middle finger(palm Side) i feel pain. Also since the 3 days the swelling hasnt really gone down and there is some pain in my hand where its swollen.
Any1 no wats wrong?????? My dad doesnt think i broke anything

since your hands close okay, you may have just deep bruising, or you may have stretched or torn a ligament; at your age, it is also possible that you have cracked the joint there at your middle finger, which would explain it still working okay but being painful. give it another day or two and see if it doesn't get better (try the things I list in my answer to your other question) and then you could ask your school nurse to take a look and see what she thinks.
happy hoops to you :)

You probably sustained a bad sprain but it might be a good idea to get an x-ray just in case. Apply heat for the swelling now. When you first hurt your hand, you should have applied ice for the swelling and then heat for the pain. Good luck.

Either a bad bruise, sprain or strain

Yes, you probably sprained it because if it was broken you wouldn't be typing right now.

you sprained it, and it needs to be immobilized.
If you want to enjoy basketball for a long time to come, go get it fixed
