I Think My Sister Might Have Broken Her Finger. Please help!?

It is possible she broke it, really the only way to know is by x-ray.  But some signs and symptoms can be bruising, unable to use her finger, pain, the finger can be "crooked" and swelling.  You can tape the finger together with the finger next to it, it will act like a splint.  I hope this helps.

if its bent and tender to touch then there is a good chance it is broken, tell her to get it checked out.

Tap on the end of your finger.  If you have "shooting" pain that could indicate a possible fracture.  You may also want to worry about your flexor tendon being ruptured.  You cannot flex your finger at all at the distal joint?  This concerns me more that a fracture.  Go see the Doctor.  Also real quick....when you press down on your finger nail of the injured finger, it should go white as the blood is squeezed out and should See if this happens.  It should.  Good luck.

keep your finger elavated above your head.  It gets less blood so it wont throb all night.  That a killer,  I broke four fingers once,  and OH the THROBBING!@

Stress. Trauma. Abuse. The problem is most likely emotional. Get her to a doctor.

I say you should go to a doctor and i agree with that guy that you should take an x-ray of your foot;and sister....I know how much it must be paining coz these sort of incidents were also experienced by me.Once a whole tire came on my foot and my whole right thigh was bleeding but it wasn`t a fracture coz my father pushed me due to which his hand got fractured and once i got ingured by the sharp edge of a sofa and guess what,not only my skin got peeled of but a piece of wood from the sofa broke as well it was 5 years ago but the skin did not grow there and the mark is still there.Hope you don`t get injured like me(sob).sorry for such a long answer!

Definitely not normal, I wouldn't ask those sort of questions on a forum like this though, speak to professionals. Anyone could come on here and say they're medically trained and really the closest they've ever come to owt medical is putting a plaster on someones finger!\nSeriously, seek advice

How can you even ask that question?  You broke your sisters heart and also her trust in you.  No matter what you say do you think she is going to believe you now?  Let her be the one to decide when and if she wants to speak to you

It could be a migraine. She really should she a doctor if it happens again because it can be crippling.

Yes, you need to see a doctor. The nail is dead and you may infect your toe if you are not careful. Do not dig at it you might cause further damage

It could be a spider bite.  She should see her doctor since I am not sure what a brown recluse bit looks like.

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.

I would consider taking her to a hospital before that happens.  They'll admit her if she is considered a threat to herself or others, and the cuts on her wrist would prove she is.  They can then get people to help her.  \n\nIf she does cut too deep, put pressure on the wound, and get her to the nearest ER immediately.
