about a week ago i was walking up my stairs to get to my apt door when i hit my hand against the railling and my pinky went back,the next day i went to the clinic to get it x-rated and he told me it was not broken,so he tapered my two fingers together and told me to take tylinol for the pain and to put ice on it,i have done that plus i even put splinter on my pinky and also put a bandaged and still it does not help,also the pain worsens alot more when i ether try to do a fist or even just pick something up as little a cup,can u tell me if it broken,fractured or sprained
Hi, ok it seems likely that your finger could have been dislocated or fractured. Sometimes in a X-ray a hairline fracture can be missed as they are difficult to catch. But your persisting symptoms and your lack of improvement after painkillers do suggest it needs to be looked into again. Also a possibility exists that the splint may not be applied properly and causing you pain. Either way, a relook and possibly a repeat X-ray may be called for, and usually it will improve with a proper splinting and good painkillers. Another possibility is that the painkiller you are using isn't effective for your metabolism and your body may need a different category of painkiller which may work. But that is assuming everything is alright at your pinky.regards/
