yes your finger could be broken if the x-rays did not clearly show your finger. the palm of your hand is a different area called the metacarpals so make sure the x-ray viewed this area as well or you may need another film. sprains do not show up on x-rays. just bones. since i can't examine you you may need to see a medical provider again if the treatment is not helping.
could my pinky be broken or just sprained like the er doctor said it was? . the day before yesterday i fell and hit my head on a table and i landed on my pinky it swelled up and started turning black about 3 minutes after i fell my mom took me to the er and they x-ray'd it and said it was just sprained but they didn't x-ray where i said it hurt it's hurting in the palm of my hand and it's still swelling the er put me in a finger splint which is not helping the pain at all. could my finger be broken and the doctor just didn't see anything?
