Injuries

[mexa]

Well its not much of an injury but it still hurts: I was practicing kung fu yesterday and we had to "fight", in one of the fights I don't know how I got kicked but I got kicked in my hand, well I guess my index finger to be precise.

Anyway it hurt like HELL, its like when you hit the nerve ending (?) in your elbow and it feels funny, well that was a mix of strange and pain. Right now my finger is swollen and earlier today it had a purple-ish part, the color faded a bit but I'm still worried.

It doesn't look like its broken/dislocated, and I guess that if it was it would hurt a LOT more. Right now is still swollen and its hard for me to bend it, its as if I had a tape in my finger preventing me from bending it.

It doesn't hurt when I move it, only when I kinda "shake" my hand.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks to all in advance.

Well maybe you should see a doctor about it. A similar thing happened to my finger once, and it turned out to be fractured. :P But if you aren't going to see the doctor, you could always just leave ice on it and try not to move it.

put ice on it and keep it elevated. U might have a block or a leaking vein. Thts very unlikley but an option.

Those symptoms sound like a break. Broken digits are not as painful as broken legs or arms. Just go get it checked out - it could be something less but it's good to make sure because if it's broken it'll probably need splinting.
