Broke a finger! i don't know why it's purple and can i get my finger cut off?
-
I was playing football, and i must have caught the ball in a wrong way because it bent my left ring finger backwards and it hurt like hell...! i went to the E.R about 4pm yesterday they did xrays on it. it started turning purple, and two hrs later they told me i was fine that i could be on my way.said to take 600mg for pain. this morning the hospital calls me and said they had made a mistake with the xrays that the finger was in fact BROKEN and that i needed to go to orthopedics. i called kaiser and they asked what it felt like. i told them it was now purple frm top to bottom of the finger, cant move it (hurts so bad) they said i need to go to the ER again and get it fixed. can i lose the finger over this? i'm definately sueing the hospital though...

Answer:
Go to the hospital again, or to an Orthopedic. They will set it in a splint, ice is the key too help with the discoloring of the finger. No one is perfect, but you know what to do. take care of your finger. they know what to do for you. sometimes swelling will prohibit an x-ray from showing breaks etc. I broke all my toes over twenty five years ago. boy did it hurt too. they turned purple and black. I thought like you . I was so scared that I would loose my foot. I too had to go back to hospital later on. and they set it in a cast so i was not able to move the entire foot. but had to wait until the swelling was down. So go back. we all get upset at times at doctors thinking the worst. but if you do what you need to then it will work out.just have faith in yourself.

It is highly unlikely that you would have to have your finger amputated. But the hospital really should have taken more care with your treatment. Hope it gets better soon
the finger is purple because of the BRUISE the finger took. no it won't be amputated. not really a lot they can do for a broken finger or toe except maybe put that finger in a splint till it heals. get them to prescribe some pain medication for you to take. the hurting will subside after a while. good luck to ya
