Okay, about a month ago, I smashed my hand against a granite counter really hard and my ring and pinky finger both become swollen and black and blue. After about two weeks, the black and blue went away on both and the pain on the ring finger go away. However, my pinky finger leans towards my ring finger from the top and at the top knuckle there is like a bump (sorry if this is confusing to anyone). It is rough, but its my pinky, so which I don't use as much as the other fingers and therefore when it hurts, i just don't use it. However, I am a little curious as to what is going on but hold not been to a doctor yet. is it broken? It is painful, swollen at the top knuckle and have a bump. should i go to the doctor?
Answers:    You should get it checked by your doc and it may be a hairline fracture (like a hair--thin).

Do you smoke cigarettes? or own you..

You should always walk to the doctor if you break something as soon as it happens or as soon as you can. If not, the swelling will not go away. My mom broke her pinkie toe a while ago and it is still really swollen. It's color is back to typical, and she says it doesn't hurt anymore, but it's still swollen.

No matter how big or small the bone is that you broke or think you may enjoy broken, you should always go to the doctor and get proffessional back.

Good luck and I hope I helped! :)

If you know your body's bones please..

not much he will do for it. splint it and let it heal. I've done similar things to mine.
