Fingers let us touch objects, grasp them, interact with our environment, and communicate. But they are easily injured. As often as we use our hands, it may come as no surprise that fingers are the most commonly injured part of the hand. A broken finger will start to swell within minutes of the injury. In addition, a person would experience the following symptoms of a broken finger: Swelling that lasts for several days
Swelling that may extend to other parts of the hand
Bruising around the injured area
Extremely sharp pain
Limited range of motion of the finger
The finger looks misshapen or deformed
Stiffness
Burning or tingling
Numbness
Decreased mobility
Bleeding
It’s also possible to hear one’s own bones cracking when there’s severe trauma. If you think you heard a crack, it wasn’t your imagination. Get to an orthopedic doctor ASAP.
