sore fingers

[teamcool]

Hi just smashed 3 fingers on me left hand playing football and they're in agony, havent got time to go 2 hospital though. Can you buy a splint/bandages on the high street? Cheers :p

If they are that painfull, then I would make time to get them looked at encase you have done some damage. You may have broken something. Ouch!

Cheers, im going away for a few days though. It was heroic though, saved a penalty :)

Buy some of that sticky bandage, and strap them all together straight. You'll be OK

You really ought to have them checked out because if they are broken and not set properly you could have problems for the rest of your life.

my bf hurt his little finger while playing football. Well actually, it was after he made a mistake which led to a goal and he punched a wall... Anyway it swelled up down the side of his hand, but he didn't go to the hospital for a week. Then he was told it was broken but there was nothing they could do about it by now. He was just told not to play golf etc for a few weeks, but no splint or anything as the bones had already knitted together (in the wrong way). Now it is permanently bent, he can't straighten it properly, and his knuckle is misshapen. He's really hacked off that he didn't go to A&E straightaway. At least it is only his little finger - doesn't make much difference to his life. Three fingers would though, might affect your grip and strength. They told my bf that they don't bother re-breaking fingers and re-setting them, because the bones are so small and lots could go wrong, leaving them even worse than before.

Really, you could be putting yourself through a lot of unnecessary hassle by not going to the doc's. Make sure you go as soon as you get back.
