I was told a caste was put on a 6 year olds finger (1st finger) because the bone was chipped. True or false?

not saying i know for certain but my guess would be its a lie [but why]\n\nMy daughter had a bone chipped in her arm and it wasn't in a cast just a sling..

probably trauma. You may not remember trapping your finger or toe, but it doesn't take much to damage the matrix where the nail grows from. If in doubt see your GP, but it should grow out in time.

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.

That is a touchy subject for me.My daughter had a door slammed on her finger,her little finger was hanging off.\n\nI wave them about,then put them in my mouth.

Plaster casting workd very well, it has 3 or 4 casting phases by slowly stretching the tendons, then they might put some orthopedic braces on for a while, last resort is the actuall surgery of extending the cord or of clipping it to reduce strain, but they wouldnt recommend that till the child is  much older. my son was born premature and went through the same things, he is now 14 and walks almost perfect its a long ride but worth it. and lots of physical therapy and learning how you can do the stretches on his leg that he needs, I truely hope this helps.

It is older than than 626 year. It comes from when archers were captured in battle they were typically very young small boys that could not wield a sword well. Most of the time they were spared but their middle finger were cut off to make them ineffective as an archer. So when some one was captured from the other side the archers would show there  fingers in devience as though saying ha ha I am still killing with this finger.

Yet another question asked about Hindus not with an intent of knowing something but just to insult .\n\n You are trying to imply that Raping is a regular custom. that's called twisting the facts. Rapists are rapist they are not going to act on the basis of cast. they are more likely to prey on easy target. \n\nWhy Christians raped their servants and slaves when they usually avoid to touch them?\n\nYes they did avoid the touch. do not try to evade it. they used gloves even they have to shake hand. I read it in too many contexts.\n\n One of the reasons  Princess Diana became popular was that she took off the glove when shaking hand with common people. \n\nUntouchable idea of Hindus was started by hygiene freaks. that's a long story. but the fact is that it became a taboo and really got out of hand where pretentiousness of being clean was more important than logic.\n\nI do not defend that custom. it was illogical. but rest of things are explained by Orangeandgrey well.\n\nRapist rape whoever they can. it is not related with any cast.\n\nRape cases among indians are much lower. US has highest rate of rapes per year. If you are searching for reasons of this crime better start from there.

I don't know.  I was recently teaching a Sunday School class and this second grader gave me the finger.  \n\nSuddenly my whole theory about teachers making education enjoyable came crashing down. \n\nIt's kind of my fault.  I was teaching them this prayer with their hand and was telling them that the middle finger reminds us to pray for those in power like the president. Anyway, that back fired. It's been a long year.

Both my wrists - I didn't get one of the wrists put into a cast because I couldn't afford it. \n\nWant to know the funniest thing? The one that I didn't have put into a cast healed perfectly fine. The one I DID have put into a cast healed oddly and now pretrudes a little and is crooked. I also have arthritis in that wrist now. Yeah - thanks doc - next time I'll let God take care of it ;)\n\nI've also had cracked ribs but they healed on their own and they're fine now.\n\nThat's all for the bones - but I lost my pinky finger in the door once...but they sewed it back on just fine and you can hardly tell - but I guess I'll save that for a "severed appendage" question ;)

myself- broke my ankle walking down icy stairs.\noldest daughter- broke her leg in three during soccer practice, then her shoulder 6 months later(boy pushed her on gravel @ school)\nmiddle daughter broke 2 fingers playing teter ball. we all healed perfectly and quickly. its true what they say about drinking your milk, "it does the body good".......

Hi well this all depends how bad the dislocation was and also how bably tou tore the ligament.Dislocations can take anything up to 2 mths to heal properly,and the ligament which surrounds the finger can take anything from 6-8wks,you have to remember when you dislocate any bones they are all surrounded by ligaments,tissue,muscle so all off these have to get bck to the way they wore before you injured your finger so it will take time im affraid.Rest the finger as much as possible,and see you gp if not getting no better in a mth or so.Good Luck

It should be fine.  I did the same thing to my thumb a few years back and it is still raised a little in comparison to my other thumb.  I think it's the body's natural reaction to trauma.  It's a way of strengthening that area to prevent further injury to the same area.

no....its just us and a 4 inch piece of wood!! haha. although some people wear wrist guards, or other braces to protect themselves from further injury

When I was nine, I broke my arm. I was jumping off a little tykes pic nic table and grabbing the top bar of my swing set. Swinging and then jumping off. Well, we moved it back a little to far for me (i am not very tall!! about 5 foot tall at 25) and I missed the top bar. I fell and tried to catch myself with my left arm. I them proceeded to land on top of my arm and broke both the bones in my arm with one coming through the skin. I had emergency surgery, 14 stitches and a heavy plaster cast from fingertips to shoulder for four months. The scar is a doozy too. I held the record for worst broken bone on a girl at the hospital for a while. Hurts just thinking about it.

Right steve,you need to go bck to A/E to get this injured finger checked out and x-rayed.Some fractures are worst then others,some need manipulating bck in to place and other fractures need just taping together.In the mean time get some elaster plaster and a piece of gause (dressing) fold the dressing in half and place the dressing in between the injured finger and the nxt finger,get the plaster and cut two pieces long enough to go round both fingers,tape two fingers together one nr the nail area and the other just above the knuckles,this will help until you go bck to the A/E dept,but you should get this seen to just incase its a serious fracture,oh and dont get the plaster and dressing wet.Good Luck
