General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello welcome to HCM. Please dont do that. Just take plain Xray of that finger AP and lateral view. This has to be done to see whether there is fracture or not. If there is no fracture just take pain killer and don't go and meet any one. Just lessen your work with that finger and enjoy life. But sorry we have to consider the other option also. if there is fracture then please please.. go to orthopaedician to put the splint. I hope you will listen to my words. I advised to go because if the reduction and splint use is not proper, whole life you cannot do properly work with that. You will always repent for that. Take care.
