Is It Normal Of Having Swelling On Fractured Finger After A Month?
Tiny fracture of my forefinger 4 weeks ago. went to urgent care ( I only have medicare). Told me to wear a splint for 2-3 weeks (which I did) and then buddy-tape it to adjoining finger for additional 2-3 weeks. Is it normal for it still to be bruised looking and swollen after 4½ weeks? When I try to bend it, skin feels tight on knuckle and allows very little movement.

Hi
Its quite normal. Swelling takes 2 or 3 monthes to vanish. After 1 month pain and swelling will continue till the fracture unite. So no need to worry.
Thanks
