Could My Finger Be Broken

[ZaraW]

I injured my middle finger in yoga three weeks ago. Bruising has gone, swelling improving but still quite bad. I thought I sprained it, could it be broken? See my GP next week.

God yeah!!!

Minor injuries for an X-ray ASAP!

It might be. I had a similar injury 2 or 3 years ago. Went to hospital. They x-rayed it and it turned out not to be broken. Finger ached for months afterwards. The nurse said to me that the treatment would the same whether broken or not - strap it to the next finger.

No use in seeing a Gp for this. Minor inuries would be the best.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not in the UK so will need my Dr to put a request through to get an x-ray.

dizzydizzydizzy thanks I'm taping it at the moment but swelling not going down. Am hoping it was just bruised but I have early stage arthritis in my fingers so probably best to get checked.
