Sharp pain is usually a fractured finger and dull aching is usually a sprain

[Skatetoday]

My middle finger was crooked from the middle to the tip. I popped it back and now it’s a little swollen/ stiff with no discoloration but I can move it. Little to no pain with little swelling in the dislocated joint. It was caused by a fall

[bricescicchitano]

Well from my two experiences from breaking both knuckles on my middle finger and pinky I was still capable of moving them so when I was diagnosed by the trainer at my school I was doing the wrong thing and now my pinky doesn't have complete full range of motion

[ipoopnakedred]

My finger is purple intheo middle and I can barley move it

[annaliggins]

I currently started working a job that requires using my hands a lot. Not long after starting, my finger next to the pinky on my right hand keeps getting stiff and hurts so much to move it. I believe it may just be a sprain. What are some things I can do to help it heal while also being able to continue working?

[gavxposts]

I got X-rays for my finger and can’t bend it so i am using one of those finger casts and Docters say it’s not broken so idk

[jebus]

I accidentally whacked my pointer finger on the side of a wooden table and I have a bruise on my joint and very stiff, I watched the video but didn’t help much, what do you think?

[JustAnzia]

I grabbed my hand on the edge of my table, because I was about to fall. I did catch myself, but my hand slipped, and made a crack “sound” and it hurt a lot.

[angelaxu]

May I please ask like you say pain in the shoulders due to my old work injuries when I wake up or in the certain movements and always in pain. I do admit that I am over weight it could be makes difference compare to a healthy body. Even the doc did clear my injury and I’m back to my old duty, may I ask do the injury of the joints will always leave permanent ‘scars’ or weakness could never be 100% healed!?

[lyghtneng]

Ok so mine has to be sprained because i can move the finger but whenever i do it hurts severely. I sprained my finger while trying to catch my dog. Also guys the information on the video isn't always gonna be accurate. like there's rlly NO WAY to tell unless u get a X- ray. What the video does is tell u difference between a fracture and a sprained bone. Not if u have a fractured or sprained bone. if u wanna know that go take a x ray

I think i broke my finger.i will find out tomorrow 😂😂

[kileecarter]

I smashed my pointer finger on right hand hitting a pallet with a weighted hand held carpentry sledgehammer, the pallet shot up right when I hit and it was a large pallet made of 2x4’s that was crating a lawnmower while at work and smashed my finger into the metal handle I was gripping right with my momentum behind it to break to board. I instantly felt so much pain ran off (to escape it I guess) and just like put my hand between my thighs hunched over for a min and my cower came over to me, and wanted to see it it filleted a good chunk of skin and made a deep flap that bled/oozed clear fluid for two days my finger instantly swelled and by now (4-5) days later is still swollen but not as bad my whole finger feel stiff and hurts my finger tip is numb I can’t put pressure on it the top of the middle bone looks to be where the force was focused and if I’m picking up something at work even with a spilt i immediately went and bought on if I do too much by end of 9 hour shit it’s more swollen than before. If I get hot water on it it feels better but gets so swollen so fast I can sort of bend it but not far espicially at my last knuckle tip of finger if I even slightly bend it it feels like this sharp splitting pain that sometimes shoots down the nerves in my hand to my wrist I’m going to have work let me get it checked but do you think it’s broken

[PerxcyzYt]

I was reaching in the floor for a pillow and my phone fell and hit my thumb and now it hurts like bad

[consolefpsclan]

My finger is swollen and hurts to bend but no purple is it broken jammed or sprained

[chonkyoreo]

Our best player on our basketball team went to another school and we're playing against her next week and I sprained my finger! I'm the best player now that she's gone so idk if we can win against her

[devoulus]

Ok my finger looks like a curved chair but I can move it so it's fine

[andrewfaller]

I fell skateboarding yesterday and put my hands down to help soften my fall, my left middle finger rotated counterclockwise just a little bit and i immediately got a painful pins and needles sensation from that finger, I was still able to move it, and currently still can, I feel no pain when pressing on the finger, it just feels like a little more pressure. I woke up this morning and it was noticably swollen and had some bruising in my finger muscles. Started to do ice compressions with a finger sleeve for 20 minutes on and off, and put my finger in a splint. I really dont think it's broken, but from what you have explained I think its a sprain. Unfortunately I do not have health coverage to get this checked out without paying out of pocket

[johnny-ggkt]
