Finger sprain help??!
Question: Finger sprain help.?.?
I was playing dodgeball w/ my friends at school using a soccer ball (The chelsea soccer ball)..Then,She threw it hard and i was about to catch it when it hit my middle finger and my middle index..Now,Its all sore and i cant move it too well..I can bend it but it kinda aches and i dont know what to do..It kinda has a bruise on it and it cracks every time i bend the middle one..I'd have to say that the middle finger is the most injured..Both are bigger than my other fingers a bit..I put ice on it and i made a cast-like thing using popsicle sticks and tape..But it still hurts pretty bad..What should i do to make it stop.?.?Im worried its more than just a sprain..Im thinking it got dislocated or something.. If your wondering where i live,I live in the philippines so im in the middle of the school year right now..

Answers:
If you had dislocated it, it would hurt a lot.. And you shouldn't be able to move it (in that case).. If it just hurt but showed no other symptoms really, I would've said a sprain.. However, bruising is usual a sign that something has broken, especially in the finger.. I'm assuming your finger isn't bent funny (doesn't need to be set), so you can either go to a doctor or school nurse or you can splint the finger (I only recommend this if you can't access a doctor or other medical professional)..
