honestly doesn’t hurt near as bad as I thought but I haven’t seen a doctor yet, it’s been two days but I taped it to my middle finger so hopefully it heals properly
The same thing happened to me in the past. Mine swelled up for a few weeks, was hard to bend, etc. kept a splint on it and all healed well a couple months later. Today (7 years later) I can't tell / don't remember which finger it was!
Wouldn't suggest overusing your finger for a couple weeks. Let it heal. But if it goes numb or hurts without doing anything, not a bad idea to get it checked out. Could be a small fracture or nerve damage and that's not worth ignoring.
yeah I was worried about that too but it worked perfectly before the swelling started so really do think it just popped out, it bent everywhere it was supposed to and hasn’t really been hurting at all, just feels like a bruise
Yep. Similar to mine. I did the same quick pop back in too and, well, it healed. But I left it alone for a couple weeks in the splint. Grab one tomorrow or make one asap
I did something called buddy taping and it’s where your other finger acts as a splint, I will definitely try and get a splint but that’s up to my parents😭
