Batting cages injury?
14/f
Yesterday afternoon i went to the batting cages with a couple of friends, and when i went to bat, the ball hit my hand (35 mph). I can't really recall exactly what happened; if it hit my hand directly, or ricocheted off the bat. But i felt a really sharp pain go through my hand, mostly my pointer finger.
Directly after, i noticed my finger was bright red. I tried to bend it a few minutes later, and it really hurt and looked sort of swollen.
Later on i could bend it and wouldn't hurt as much, but my hand feels really weird. It's not really easy to bend my finger, and my other fingers feel almost out of place.
What might have happened, and what should i do about it?

You could have dislocated your finger, but I doubt it since your other fingers don't feel right either. You probably sprained your index finger, which makes your metacarpals (your hand-bones) feel like they're not right, either. I'd suggest trying not to use it too much, icing it (15 minutes on, 30 minutes off) and just generally not bothering it. If it still hurts on Monday, you should go to the doctor. =]
