SOCCER INJURY..
hi, so I play soccer, and it's pretty competitive at the high school level. at one of my games at least 2 months ago, i was running and a girl kicked out my shin and i fell, not only hurting my shin, but i also fell right onto my pinky finger. a few minutes later my pinky blew up and was blue and purple and was huge. i never went to the doctors, and it eventually the swelling and color has healed, but my knuckle is still huge. does anyone know what could be wrong with my knuckle? it does hurt pretty badly still and it has limited flexibility..thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
You could easily have broken or fractured the bone. I have had numerous soccer related injuries on my hands (I used to be a keeper for a few clubs when I was younger) and I have broken my fingers about 5 times. I did not go to the doctor and now I have 3 deformed fingers (two of them broke twice).
Anyway, what I am getting at is... don't do what I did. Sometimes they may not be able to do anything, but other times they can make sure the injury heals right.
I can't say with certainty what happened to your hand, but I think you did more than just sprain it. In time the swelling in your knuckle will go away, but it might still be an idea to get it checked.
By the way, I am curious, does the finger that healed look and feel normal?

I don't think that it's a very serious inhury, just by the way that you decribed it. But you probably moved the knuckle a little. I still think you should see a doctor about it, because you don't want it to get worse in the future years.
Good Luck.
