Injured middle finger

3 replies

Ds2 hurt his finger yesterday playing football with dh. He had goalie gloves on, caught the ball and instantly said his finger hurt. However he carried on after 5 minutes - not stopping balls but shooting them instead.

Today it has swollen up around the middle joint (not ridiculously swollen but noticeably so) and looks a bit black/blue. He says he can't bend or sraighten it - he could yesterday.

He is not in pain. It hurts to bend or straighten, so has it slightly curled.

Is it worth a trip to a&e?

maybe a minor injuries unit would be usefull if you not sure it warrants a and e? I had to take my daughter there when she jammed her finger in the door and they were so helpful.

Thanks for replies. We dithered. Yesterday he said it felt a bit better and today he can bend it a bit, so I think it's on the mend.
