How can you tell if you broke your finger?

How can i tell if i broke my finger or jammed it?

  • ok so two days ago i was at a friends for their birthday and we were all hitting balloons around (i know stupid) but when i went to hit one so did one of my friends and i jammed my finger into his palm. Me and all my friends hurt a snapping sound and i definitely felt it and it got super swollen pretty quickly. Now the swelling is starting to go down but its turning black and blue everywhere including my palm but hurts at the knuckles on my finger and im not able to see a doctor for 2 more days. Is it worth going or is it just jammed?

  • Answer:

    You probably broke it. Ice it on and off for 20 minutes, take a pain med (like advil) and see a doctor for a splint.

It's definitely broken if you heard it snap. You should ice it and see a doctor as soon as possible.
