Hi all,
I have many children so have had quite a lot of experience with broken bones DS2 got his finger stuck between his bike yesterday (You can never trust a 14 year old) He was in a lot of pain and is quite sure he has broken it. Its very swollen bruised all over he can't bend it very far. But DD3 and DS 1 and 4 have also broken fingers and we've gone up to a&e they've been a bit upset even gone up and buddy tape they're fingers. We have buddy tape so wondering if i should do that. But they say (and DH has had this) that if the break is far down they sometimes put it in a cast (DS dosent want this!) and if its not alined it could case problems in future (and he is an aspiring trumpet player) I know that you'll say go to Minor injuries unit. Put are local one (Walk in) Dosent have x-ray facilities. And the next MIU is an hour and 45 mins away! WWYD
Thanks for the help
