broke me pinkies meta carpal right behind the knuckle. that broken part, knuckle, is pushed inward. went to hospital, got x-ray, splint and number to call Orthopedic. me question, as laying to sleep last night, could very well feel the separation of bone, wondered why at hospital would they not realign the bone instead of waiting couple days to do so? i am going to ask orthopedic to reset bone, for it is not correct. possibly, the initial swelling interrupt healing for a matter of days, or something like that? thanks doc, Bradley.
