broked finger...
Hey, I would like to know if you all can tell what is wrong with my finger and if I should go to the doctor. Wednesday night, I was at gymnastics messing around, and as I went for a back tuck, my middle finger jammed into my leg... then about 3 minutes later, I jammed it again into a panel mat (a hard mat in case you dont know) same finger and everything. My coach didnt care because i shouldnt have been messing around, so I went through the rest of practice ignoring the pain. Its now 2 days later, and im getting shooting pains throughout it, my whole finger is about 1 1/2 the size of the other, and my knuckle in the middle of my finger is twice the size of the other and i cant feel from there down to the end of it. I have it taped together for now, but it hurts to even write, im typing this without it. Im sorry its long, but i cant decide if I should go to the docot Monday and get x-rays jus to make surem or relax and let it heal on its own because of an expierience with shoulda been broken foot since i didnt go to the doctor right away. Today, I had to call home for some medicine to help with the pain. So, what do you all think of this situation (any of you who read this)...?

Well, i jammed my finger one time and i couldnt write cuz it hurt really bad. Ice you finger right when you get home from school and late at night while your going to sleep. If it doesnt get better in like 5 days then totally go to a doctor. Ibeprofen and advil might help if its really killing u. Hope you feel betterz.

GET TO A DOCTOR!!! Are you crazy? Your finger is nearly double its normal size?, the knuckle is twice the size and you're WONDERING? You're getting shooting pains through your finger and I've not doubt the hand also. Are you aware that about 1/4 of the bones in your body are in your hand alone?!?
GET TO A DOCTOR!!! DON'T HESITATE!!!

Give it a few more days and if the pain and swelling doesnt go down than go to the doctors nad get it checked out. you never know there could be more wrong with it than you think.

Im a gymnast to and i had the ssame thing if you go to the doctor all they will say is "it is broken" and that is that. Get a split for it at like cvs or wal-mart for it then wrap over that with tape on your middle and pionter. also ice it

In this case, you can actually get your coach in serious trouble. And I would consider switching coaches if it's possible. The same thing happened to me in PE, almost. Anyway, go to the doctor. He/she will probably order X-rays and most likely you'll get a splint to wear. The farther you let it go now, the longer you'll have to wear it. And don't let it slide for a few days/hours. It's annoyingly painful, but it happens to the best of good. Heal fast.

Due to my love of sports I have broken or fractured all but 2 of my fingers. Let me tell you that you dont need to go to the doctor but its a good idea to do it. I have never gone and, well, Im still alive, but a couple of my fingers look like they should belong to one of the witches in Macbeth. They work fine but look terrible (bent funny and a bit lumpy here and there). If you want to avoid that have them properly treated (tape may not be adequate).
Oh, I almost forgot, the symptoms you describe fit perfectly with a broken finger and are exactly what I had.

You really need to go to the doctor! If it still hurts, you should ice it for twenty minutes. Do that about every three hours, except when you go to sleep, of course! Hope it gets better...

I think that you should DEFINATLY go to your doctor. that, in my opinion, is worth getting checked out! so i say go to the doctor and see what he or she says.

its is probably broken. the only thing they will do with a broken finger is slpint it so you cant move it. but if it would make you feel better to go to the doctors and get it x-rayed then you should go. if you go, they may give you some type of meds to help with the pain. So go, What would it hurt, right?

im sure its broken, my brother went through the same thing exept he hurt his in wrestling, he dint go to the doctor and now he has a croked finger that will be with him for the rest of his life, so i advise you to go to the doctor and check and just see if everything is ok!
