How can you tell if your finger is broken?

Q: I hurt my finger today at school and I can’t tell if it is broken or just jammed. It is really swolen and I can’t move it. It hurts to touch it and is black and blue. Anyone konw if it is broken or not and anything I can do overnight so it won’t get worse?

A: It’s really hard to tell if a finger is broken without an x-ray. I jammed my thumb really good once, and thought it was broken, but it wasn’t. The best thing to do would be to go to the doctor’s and get checked out. Meanwhile, tape your injured finger securely to the neighboring uninjured finger (be sure not to cut off blood flow to the finger). This will splint the finger, and keep it from getting damaged further. You also might try icing it, to reduce pain and swelling, and taking ibuprofen or alleve (if you aren’t allergic to it).Hope this helps!

How to tell if your finger is broken or just jammed?

Q: I think my finger may be broken, but how do i tell if its just jammed or broken?

A: If it is swollen and deformed all around then chances are, it’s broken. If a finger is jammed, then it is only around the joint so if your joint is purple and bruised then most likely it is jammed if the rest of your finger isn’t affected. If you don’t want to see a doctor right away, i suggest you wrap your finger in a medical wrap (you canget from walgreens) and don’t move it too much. Put ice on for the first 24 hours and tomorrow if it is just as bad or worse, then you can assume that it’s broken and you’ll have to get a splint. Don’t worry about it it’ll be better in no time. =]
