First, I am so sorry that that happened to you. Second, I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through.\n\nFinally, all I have to offer in the hope of...I don't know...consolation? That doesn't sound right...but I do have a nice memory to share that's related:\n\nI grew up in a small town. We had one music teacher for K-4th grade and she was awesome! She taught us to read music, play instruments, and put on the best plays/concerts. She played the piano effortlessly, as well as other instruments. She was gentle and never had a student behave poorly in her class. We LOVED her.\nShe was missing part or all of a few fingers on her hands. In Kindergarten I admit to staring at her hands all the time, especially when she played piano. "HOW did she do it?" But, over the years, I stopped even noticing (as did the other students). It became normal to us.\n\nShe still teaches music to this day at the same school and my own son has had her for music. He has yet to say a word about her missing fingers.\n\nI admire how she did what she loved no matter what. She must have had to work extra hard, but it didn't show. Total class, all the way.\n\nBottom line, she was accepted and loved.\n\n~True~

You need to get it x-rayed. Sometimes, a jammed finger, or one that is sprained hurts worse than an actual break! Trust me, I've had many!

speaking from experience..i broke my leg in 2 place and my wrist in 9 during the same accident.I was out of work for 6 months..i waited and rested as told but also kept stretching and flexing my foot and hand to keep things in motion. if you have had it immobilized for this entire time it will take some rehab.. you may also look at the possibility that your hooked on your pain meds. they will trick your brain into thinking your in pain just so you'll take more. Be careful and good luck

Run very cold water on your hand and put some sishwashing liguid on it.  It should slip right off.  I had one stuck on my finger one time and I panicked and pulled and tugged to no avail, So I sawed it off with a file.  Took me hours to do it.

Not broken (otherwise excruciating pain), but sprained.\n\nSwelling should slowly subside - finger will probably turn several shades of purple.\n\nIf it starts getting painful - go see an MD.

You might have bruised some nerves as well.  When that happens you will experience the numbness and tingly sensations you discribe.  If you are 100% certain that nothing is broken then all you can do is wait it out.  If you are really concerned, call your doctor for an exray to make sure you didnt get a hairline fracture of any kind.  I had that when I broke my wrist and it took a while for all the feeling to return.  So long as your fingers are not turning blue then you really have no serious concerns at the moment.  If after say a week and you still have no feeling then you really need to see the dr. to make sure no further damage was done.  Good luck.

I broke my pinky finger a few years back.  My finger is crooked now, sort of like a bump on top.  Goes with breaking bones, I guess.

If you can't really move it, make an anatomical splint for it. (Tape it to the finger next to it) And keep icing it. I would go to the doctor also.

I obtained my worst injury at the age of four, when a hot iron fell on me.  I moved out of the way in time to escape a concussion but my my right foot's pinkie toe got burned and the nail got broken off.  I haven't had any worse injuries than that so far and I really hope I don't get any either.  The injury scars might be cool but the pain aint worth it, that goes for all I care about also.

It takes a month to heal. You should put an ace bandage on it and if you have crutches use them while your around your house and try not to walk on it. I have sprained my ankle hundreds of times. i currently have a broken finger. lol\n\nKeep ice on it for a while and try to keep it from swelling. If your ankle still hurts alot you should wait until after your birthday and then go and get x-rays\n\nYou might not be able to tell if its broken . Ive broken my ankle and I didnt think i did because i handle pain very well.\n\nfeel better and HAPPY BIRTHDAY =]

outstretch your arm as far as you can, then put the baton between two fingers, push down with one finger and up with the other, forcing the baton to move under/over the finger and into the next finger position.\n\nGood luck with this..... i had a hard time learning the very little that i did, and got bruised up in the process.

Oh darlin- good luck to you!  I just went thru this whole damn thing!  I had injured both my hands in a fall and ended up out of work for 3 months.  I got fired for missing work!  NICE huh?  Well after being out 3 months I found a new job and was doing great at first and ended up making my hands even worse and I just had double hand surgery!  I did luck out and get the first employer to pay for it plus benefits but I had to get an attorney to do that much!  Good luck to u!

Don't worry it'll grow back. I think nails grow about 1/4 inch or so a month. I lost two finger nails when I was younger after I got my finger slammed in a car door. It may grow back a little mishapped, depending on what exactly happened. My friend crushed his thumb and his nail has been mishapped since, but he still has the nail.

Have you had an xray for this yet?  If not, I would definately recommend you get one.  It sounds like you have have done more than jam your finger.  There are a few different things that could be triggering your knuckle to swell months after the initial injury.  The most common would be a fracture.  There are other possibilities as well.  Does the finger continue to swell bigger or has it leveled out?  You may have a fragment floating around there irritating everything.  I would suggest you definately at least have it checked out, there is a possibility the swelling will go down, but do you really wanna risk the ring not fitting on your wedding day?  Make an appt with your family dr and KNOW what is going on.  Hope your finger feels better and Congratulations on the upcoming wedding!
