Depending on how hard you "traumatize" it. Your finger could be anywhere from bruised to sprained to broken to dislocated. To traumatize is to cause damage to.
You say: "Mom, can you take me to the hospital? I think my wrist is sprained."
A broken or fractured finger typically shows signs like severe pain, swelling, bruising, deformity, and difficulty moving the finger. A sprained finger will usually have less severe pain and swelling, and you can generally still move it, although it may be painful. It's important to see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Any ligament can be sprained, but the most frequently injured ligaments are at the ankle, knee, and finger joints.
If your hand is just sprained, it should heal in 7-10 days.
It may not be a sprain even if you think it is. I thought I sprained my right middle finger but it was swollen and hurt for 2 months so I went to the orthopedic doctor and it turned out that I tore a ligament. I'm still recovering so I would suggest that you get it checked, just in case.
Yes, a splint can be used to immobilize and support a sprained pinky finger while it heals. This helps to reduce pain, prevent further injury, and promote proper healing of the sprain. It's important to ensure the splint is fitted correctly and to follow any guidelines provided by a healthcare professional.
Go to the hospital you might have a sprained finger (if it is grey/blue) or you have a broken bone
Make sure you keep it raised, do not put pressure on it, and be careful. Ask you doctor about a finger metal cast with padding.
You could have accidentially jammed it. I have done it before playing basketball. It hurts. You could try wrapping it or using a splint to put pressure on it and prevent it from getting hurt worse. A splint is just like a metal finger cast with foam on the inside that you can sorta shape around your finger.
