Swollen finger

2022-08-28 15:30:29
I hurt my finger during exercise. There is swelling in the area and it is painful. The pain is lesser today but I am not able to use the finger and it won't go flat. Is this something that will heal on its own? I am using a frog splint for this. The injury happened yesterday morning and the pain is definitely lesser today. Is it broken or displaced or just normal swelling?

Hi. By the look of it , u might hv injured few soft tissue on the dorsal aspect of finger. Please visit for clinical examination snd an xray to look for subtle bony injury. U may continue using splint in the meantime and can use ice GM fomentation, local gels or sprays and some pain medication. Best wishes

Though it is finger there can be dreadful complications in future. So please meet a upper limb Orthopedic surgeon and discuss further management options.
