Finger bent sideways ..?
So I was at work and lost my match, i put my hands out to stop my slump and caught my finger on a piece of wood , so my body weight go down on my finger bending it sideways. Hard to picture but anyway, I went to the doctor and have Xrays done, he said everything is fine but, (and everyone says this to me aswell) my finger is disappointingly bent towards my middle finger from the middle joint, its also somewhat twisted .. any philosophy what i can do to fix it up? It doesn't cause me any headache, just annoys me more after anything that the doc said it should fix itself.
Answer: It might be dislocated. I had impossible to tell apart thing appear to me when i was playing volleyball. You can verbs it back into place, but it might hurt. I would seize a second doctors' opinion.

TAPE IT TO YOUR OTHER FINGER TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT
It will fix itself, operating on it could impose irreversible damage. Follow your doctor's suggestion. If the doctor said to let it fix itself, afterwards just consent to that be. You don't want to do anything that you will later regret.
Maybe you only have to contribute it some time to straighten up.
my arm looks wonky ever since i broke it but i got used to it. Have you tried bending it stern?
Don't worry, it doesn't gross much of a difference to life if your fingers aren't straight. The doctor be probably just man nice though, my fingers have be bent since I was within my early teens...over partially a lifetime later they are worse than they be when I first damaged them. My daughter get her finger slammed in the door more or less a month ago. It was also bent toward her middle finger and looked worrisome and crooked!! She's only 4 so we took her to the dr and it be broken. He just put a splint on it and we wrapped it within medical tape. I would recommend you put a splint on it. It really help her finger it still looked crooked for a long time and we were terrified. But, after about a month she can bend it again and it's not surefire, but it doesn't look bad at adjectives! I would leave the splint on for at most minuscule 2 weeks if it's not broken, maybe more if it still hurts profoundly and still looks funny!! Good luck.
It sounds like you might hold knocked it out of combined. I did this with my pinky finger and though it be put back contained by place it still looks wonky, but it hurt before (extremely) and it stopped the moment it go back into place (did it myself beside a good jerk). This happen year ago and my knuckle looks out of place but that's going on for it.
