Pain, Discoloration And Swelling In The Ankle And Index Finger After A Fall. Need Consultation?
Sir, Last week I just slipped on the floor. I was having pain on my ankle and index finger and the index finger was swollen. Still my finger is swollen. I feel little bit of difficulty to walk normally. I can t give stress to my index finger. Also the finger is slightly bluish from back side. Do I need to consul a doctor?.
Hi, Thanks for query,
It seems that you have got sprain on ankle giving you problem.
As your index finger is swollen,there is possibility of having fractu1re`of carpal bone.
Go for x ray index finger to rule our fracture or soft tissue injury.
Take some anti inflammatory,analgesic medicines.
Ok and bye.
