hey, I was playing kickball today in P.E. and accidentally my index fingers got hit by the soccer ball instead of catching it correctly, I kept playing kickball instead of going to the nurse because it didn t hurt at first but then the pain increased really fast and the nurse gave me an ice packet. After about 5 hours, my dad got home and noticed my finger, he put bandages on it but now it s purple in the middle (where it bends)
Hi, You probably got injured your finger with soft tissue injury including extensor tendon causing mallet finger (bent finger).  You required getting diagnosed first through clinical examination and investigation like x-ray hand AP & oblique view to rule out any bony injury.  Therefore, visit Orthopedic surgeon for its management. Until then keep your hand elevated at opposite shoulder level, do ice compression, and take analgesic, proton pump inhibitor (pantoprazole etc.) with chymotrypsin, tripsin combination. In case of any queries feel free to contactThanks n regards
