Fingers Injury, Swelling And Pain. What Can Help Them?
Hello, I was jumping on the trampoline Saturday night and bent my fingers all the way back trying to push myself up. but since everyone was still jumping, my fingers bent back twice. the index, middle, and ring finger were in pain for a few hours. then it was just the middle finger. now i feel like it is getting worse. i did notice right now that in between my index and middle finger knuckles are swollen and it does hurt to open and close my hands.

Hope you are doing good. If you think that that some areas of your fingers are swollen and you are having problem with opening and closing your hand , you should get tablets like diclofenic sodium for pain relief and do x-ray of your hand.
With the x-ray you will get better picture about fracture. Else wise it could be minor injury. But you should get done your x-ray after counseling with your orthopedic doctor. He will examine your hand and will give your further advise.
I hope have answered your query. feel free to ask if you have any query. wish you good health.
Regards

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
It might be soft tissue injury,ligament injury or fracture.
Without X-ray, it is difficult to differentiate a fracture from others. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
In the interim,apply ice packs to the affected area,anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid lifting and rest well.
Hope this helps you.
