I hurt my hand the other day, it was swollen up real bad, its still swollen up bad today but i can move it better. Its the bit below my pinky finger, and that finger itsself that hurts. I can move my finger, but it hurts too much to move all the way up or to clench a full fist. When i try and make a fist i cant, its too sore, but i can push my pinky finger back till it sort of locks as far as it will go, but it cant do that without pushing from my other hand.

Ima go see the good doctor tomorrow, but what do you guys think? Could there be a break? Or is the swelling responsible for restricted movement?

Fracture maybe.

I remember a long time ago I was pulling back a rock in a wrist-strap sling shot. Well I pulled back as hard as I could to shoot the rock and let go, and the rock slammed right into the first knuckle on my middle finger on my left hand.
It swelled probably 3 or 4 times its normal size immediately. Then it turned dark purple. It was fractured. It hurt really really bad.

Ok, will this kind of thing heal itsself if i tape the pinky to the next finger along? So itll heal properly.
