Well I could tell you this story

Of saving an elderly woman from a burning building and hurting my little finger, to the point it might be a break, rather than the fact I fell over my own two feet and landed funny on my hand.

But the basic is, I might have either a badly bruised little finger or a broken one. I can't bend it, its very swollen and I have a lovely bruise coming up.

Is it reasonable to wait till Monday to see if the swelling goes down? Or should I be seeing someone over the weekend?

What you did is amazing; yet another edification of humanity. Thank you!

But fingers, too, are important. Please get it checked out.

I was stupid not to one time and strapped it up straight. Stupid me.

The hospital were cool about it. Fingers are important.

Still can't play the piano though old joke.

Ah shite, I have strapped it, will take the strap off now, and see how it is.

I also rescued the cat and the 5 budgies ;)

I will see how it is tomorrow. If still bad, will take a wonder to OOH

How is it? I strapped mine lolly stick straight but the hospital did it in the relaxed position.

Interested in this thread?

It needs looking at. I don't know if the one I did was broken but ligaments are plethora in fingers.

I felt like a person attached to a hurty finger for weeks. The Pysio gave me exercises and customised elastic bandages that relieved the throb.

It still looks a bit like a witchy finger to me but no one else can tell.

Please tell us more about the amazing job you did just before your injury.

I hope you got a hot sweet cup of tea as medicine. Now you need to sort the finger.
