How to tell if your finger is broken, or sprained or jammed

  • A sprained (or jammed) finger occurs when you injure one of the joints that allows you to bend your finger, whereas a break is a fractured bone. It can sometimes be difficult to tell the difference but making sure you get the proper diagnosis and treatment can help prevent permanent deformity or loss of function.

      Do be careful with that double-jointedness! I am too, and at 59, I began to have severe joint pain everywhere. It's taken several years of PT to get some strength back and reduce the pain. I encourage you to check out Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome - hypermobile type, if only to learn how to prevent issues later in life. I've always been very strong, and now I know it's because my muscles are doing the work that very flexible tendons don't.

    Hey my one of my middle finger on my right hand is pointing to the right due to some poorly performed gripper training I did. It was months ago and I just rested it, but every time I try to go do it again, the finger aches again and points to the right, as in being angled to the right where there is blatantly more distance between that middle finger and the index finger compared to the distance between the left hand's middle and index fingers.
    I already paid way too much just to have it checked by physiotherapists who gave general advice but nothing specific so hopefully you know what I could do, I probably didn't give enough details but I figure you can ask and I'll explain it as best as possible. Would appreciate some method for this.

    I think I was in 5th grade. Caught a pass in basketball. I hurt my right pinky and could not flex it. Eventually, I went to get an x-ray and luckily it was just badly bruised/sprained. But it was so severely sprained, it took maybe 3-4 months before I would fully move it freely without hurting. Then in 8th grade, i severely sprained the same pinky again playing basketball. Took about 2-3 months to recover.
    9-10 years later (21, will be 22 this December), my right pinky doesn't function the way it used to. Specifically, I cannot curl it all the way to the point where the fingertip touches the upper palm of the hand. (I can do it with my left hand) I have to force it if I want them to touch. And it slightly hurts if I try to force it. There's a resistance I feel whenever I try to curl my pinky.

    Softball hit my right ring finger in a game. It instantly locked straight on impact. I got X-rays and there are no fractures. It’s been 7 days and I cannot bend my finger at all. It’s just stuck straight and all my doctor told me to do is wear a splint 😣 I have absolutely no range of motion in the joints they are stiff and painful.

    hi. Do you wrap a sprained finger or finger with a fracture ( and how would you ) ? thx

    • @DOR8421
      @DOR8421 Před 28 dny

      i sprained my finger joint. at first i wrapped in tape, but sticking tape to finger cuts off air and you end up doing damage when pulling tape off (ow!). so i did tape but lined with tissue on inside so it doesnt stick, or leave a small area that can stick so it doesnt fall off. you end up with a tube of tape that slides on and off. you can add a finger cot on top but i dont like the pressure. /// also they make for purpose finger splints, you can buy at a drug store.

I can bend it just fine using my other hand without any pain, but unlike my other fingers in right hand I cannot bend at the 2nd join inwards while forming a fist. I can bend the finger inwards on the first joint but not on the 2nd. Any suggestion ?

    I fell down a flight of stairs and broke my pinky in 4 places. It was horrible because I had to have a cast on it-4 different casts-couldnt work and then an operation. Now my other pinky was sore before the fall and it is still sore sometimes when I move it so I was afraid that it was broke too and I cant miss anymore work. But it sounds like it is not broken. i knew right away the other one was broken because instead of the finger being in a normal position because it was actually side ways. It really looked weird, but it didn't hurt much.

Soon my finger popped and it didn’t hurt anymore. 2 weeks later, it started bending but it was only until 3 weeks I went to go get an X-ray which was yesterday.. I found out I broke my finger and may potentially need surgery to fix it.. it’s called something but I forgot it starts with a j and then fracture. I broke 2 bones the growth plate and another. My finger is slightly crooked now and very swollen. I’m gonna go check if I need surgery in 10 days so I’ll update y’all then..!
