Nah...you shouldn't until they heal. Ask the doctor. ]
Yes, but i would check with my parents or doctor is it like in the middle of ur finger if so DONT SWIM
Love Ashley , ~ plz rate me ~ ]
Not sure.. i would call ask a nurse or call your dr. or ask the school nurse before you do so cuz u you wanted to do something like that and ruin it.. that could be bad! ]
yes' but ask your doctor just in case. I know my brother, by asadent my mother cut a little of his finger, and when the stiches faded,/ all gone he was in water. Make sure you'll ask your docter, first, and make sure it's perfectly healed BYE........ ]
probably not. A boy in my PE class had a broken finger once and he had to wear a plastic bag duct-taped to his hand to keep the splint dry. I was lucky, swimming was done for when I broke mine. Depending on the severity of the injury it can go either way. Ask a doctor. ]
Well... yes you can swim but I wouldn't want to swim in a pool when you have some sort of injury.
Take it from me, every time i swim in a pool I always get sick afterwards. They'er is always a chance that someone has peed or bactiria.
You really should ask your Doctor instead of us advicenators becasue he may say yea or no. but not matter what I would reconsider swiming until your finger is healed.
hoped I helped
sincerely

I would deffinetly not recommened it. Pools are full of nasty bacteria, you don't want that getting into your stiches and causing an infection. Talk to your doctor if your unsure, but I wouldn't risk it. ]
Yes, you just have to be careful not to bend your finger to much, and don't make rough movements or swim to fast or they will rip, trust me I did that when I had stiches on my hand.

Here's an idea: ask your doctor.
If you've just gotten the stitches, I guarantee that you'll be told "NO".
If you got the stitches a while ago, there is a chance that it might be allowed because the wound has healed well enough.
But no matter what, you should not be asking a question like this of an on-line forum... call a doctor. ]
You really should wait until you get them out. You could end up tearing them out or something...THAT wouldn't be good.... ]
No ]
