 [ Symptoms ] how long before i can i return to sports like the one that injured my finger in the first place  my middle and ring fingers got caught in the elastic waste band of my opponents shorts as i pulled their flag both fingers injured but i felt a pop in my middle finger i squeezed the middle finger from the top and bottom and felt something move and the discomfort decreased a great deal but on day 3 after injury and wearing a splint i no longer have range of motion whereas i did have full motion on the day of injury [ Disease ] most helpful answer a release to return to sports will need come from your medical provider    the one that examined you for your injury healing time is so very individual that it would be impossible to blindly determine when you can play sports again since i cannot examine your fingers to see if they are healed as much as i would like to help you with your question this is not something that can be done over the internet
