Hi, I recently was playing a game of netball and, I?m not sure exactly what happened, but a girl went backwards and hit my finger so it sort of bent back or something. It did not immediately bruise, but did swell a bit. Overtime the swelling and a little bit of bruising came out. It?s been about 27 hours since the incident and the bruising is more noticeable, but again, not to the extent where it is fully blue/ purple. I cannot bend it or make a fist as it hurts a lot, and feels as though my bone will crack- but I can straighten it. Is it possibly fractured or just strained?

Mostly like strained only . But you can get an X-ray done to rule out any sort of fracture

Hello lybrate-user. Go for x ray if you cannot hold things of swelling is there. After that consult with doctor for knowing report. Now you can start medicine arnica 200 4 globule 3 times a day for 3 days so that your blueness will decrease then consult with homoeopathic doctor for further continuation of medicine for how many days, or not. If you are getting any problem then consult with us. Thank you.
