Finger injury

2017-06-19 22:23:12
I was playing basketball last Thursday when my left ring finger hit the ball. I immediately felt pain and it started swelling pretty fast. It hurts to bend it, but it only hurts when I straighten it all the way. When I try to bend it I feel like a pull.

Hi, first of all ice the area every few hours Tie the finger with adjacent finger to immobilise it It's better to visit orthopedic to rule out sprain or fracture See if with ice and taping swelling and pain subsides After acute injury part needs rest

Don't waste time. Kindly consult orthopaedic surgeon. There may be fracture or ligament or tendon injury. Basically requires rest to that part may be by finger cot splint. Get the x-ray done and follow orthopaedic surgeon advice
Next Steps
