What Is The Symptoms Of Bone Fracture ?

hi i dislocated my pinky finger about a week ago and a few days after it really swelled up and became all purple.
Today i still have minimal movement. It is still slightly bent and i can't straighten it either. Could i have torn a ligament or something?

Hi,

I have read your query.

From your history it is difficult to say about dislocation or fracture.

So you must have xray of affected hand with focus on that finger in AP and Oblique view and send me the report.

Till then do not try to move it in any direction.

Take ibuprofen when pain occurs.

Apply hot packs for 30 min in morning and evening .

I hope it helps.
