I have entirely snapped a primary phanlge. So have a floating little finger.
Now they've plastered you to the elbow, and you don't think it feels right what next?

I am not sure what you mean by" I have entirely snapped a primary phanlge. So have a floating little finger. "
I have never heard of the term "primary phalange" but I will presume that you mean "proximal phalanx" that would make sense.
"Floating little finger" is also confusing as it would suggest a dislocated phalanx, but the treatment of that id not a Plaster of Paris cast,
As you have a POP cast applied, I would assume that you have a fracture of the proximal phalanx of your little finger...lots of assumptions there i am afraid.
\\\\Now they've plastered you to the elbow, and you don't think it feels right what next?\\\
What don't you feel is right? Fingers blue? Pain? if so where?
Could you be more specific?

Squad, yes, slack terms on my part, as you say proximal phalanx. Late, a bit shocked and very tired when I posted, sorry.
The finger is completely, though cleanly, broken through in a transverse v shape above the first knuckle, so just attached by the tendons and quite limited healing of the bone since the break at the moment. Didn't require any manipulation to reset, residual pain at the moment is probably down to the examination though it hurts more than before. Circulation is fine and no pins and needles either.
It was set in a gutter cast yesterday (in the Edinborough setting I think they said), initially for three weeks, buddy plastered to the ring finger. It simply feels like the cast is holding the buddy tighter than the broken finger, hence doesn't feel *right*.
Although, since I have no comparative experience, I accept it might just be a calm down dear moment. I may join Mike in an arnica and ice at some point - recognising your kind attention, in a ladies glass of course ;-). Thank you.

Well, gawd bless the nhs, and seriously.
Although in the three hour delay at the fracture clinic- caused by a major road traffic accident involving a fatality, which really puts a broken finger into perspective - t'interweb yielded both the consultant's performance details and some of his very interesting recent research papers. A mixed blessing for both of us really.
