earlier today, i was hurrying up some stairs, and i hit the side of my finger on the metal railing. it bent back and it HURT!! really badly!! after about decade minutes it was noticeably swollen and red. i can move it, but it hurts terribly. i've never broken a bone before, so i don't know how it feels. do you think i should get an X-ray? oh, and upon further experimenting, i CAN'T move it as much as i can move the other one. it is horribly agonized to alter it all the way, and holding things isn't pleasant either. advice? please? thanks! btw- i can't yield a brace on tomorrow morning, as i am performing in a show. they would not poverty me to wear a splint onstage!

its not a broken finger. if it were broken you would not be able to advise it at all. You most likely damaged tendons and murder vessels really badly which is why there is swelling. You need to apply cover on it and dont advise it as you crapper alteration it more. Take player strength pain killers. if it does not meliorate within 2 days, see a doctor.

I dissent w/ some of these answers. every fortuity is different and you can't ever verify whether it's busted or not even if you can bend it. I broke my hand, but I could still bend everthing. the only way to know for sure is wager a dr and get an x-ray. if it is broken, it's imperative to do this within the first 24 hours after the injury, otherwise it'll already be sanative and it may heal wrong. it's possible you could have jammed it and they would provide you a splint for you finger in that case, or you meet may have injured it pretty good. either way, you won't know unless you get it checked out. Add: Ice is a beatific idea and module bring down any swelling. Take an anti-inflammatory drug such as Ibuprofen (over the counter) module also help with inflammation and should ease the pain. Add: sorry, I don't agree that you'll know when it's broken. Sometimes it's obvious, but it's not always. I went 2 weeks before finding out I broke my hand.

You should definitely get it checked out by a doctor. It haw just be a sprain, but its still not beatific to leave it as is. You might want to ice it, and twine it up so it stays straight. But definitely hit it checked by a doctor.
