i broke and dislocated my pinky finger a couple of years ago and i can tell you it took a long time for the injury to heal because we use our hands for everything. but with time i am able to still use my hand and the pain is gone. splint the finger and keep it on for a while
8 mts ago i dislocated and broke a finger at the knuckle. it's still painful sometimes feels like it's a big bruise. i'm worried it may be the beginning of arthritis. it's a dull pain not acute. it happened on the job so i want to make sure that if there's a chance this could result in long-term damage it's noted before i'm discharged. i see the orthopedic surgeon in 4 months. what should i ask him?
