Hi, i have broke all of my bones except the middle one..On my index finger, when i move it, something moves up my hand like a tendon? What i am asking is, would it be best to get my last finger knuckle broken or seek treatment? It has been broken for over 10 years now...I can send you a photo of a video...Thank you

@larrylamp2003 see a doc near you

that happned to me one time i punched a tree because i was so mad at somebody and got boxers punch broke it like this and went to the doctors when thay fix it its a pain what thay do is thay take a numbing needle and stick it where its broken and fill it up and you feel a lot of pressure after that thay set it and thay put a cast on it and set it some more sometimes i still feel it like a weard non hurting pain in the joint of break dont ever let happen to you it dont feel good lol

Anyone know if its normal to have inflammation on the punched knuckle after 7 weeks post injury? Doc said i didnt break it or fracture and it'll get better. but i can see me tendons moving under the skin and the middle knuckle is noticeably bigger. Also i have no more pinky knuckle, took that out a few years ago, so my right hand looks like an aliens! Any advice would make me happy. thanks

i smacked a wall when i lost my temper,i went to hospital 3 hours later, and they imobilized my hand.now was my 4th day of wearing immobilization,i supposed to have control on monday, but i have exam so i removed that imobili today, so i can just use pc normaly, so i wanted to ask if anyone knows, is that bad what i did. i assumed bones connected already, i dont feel pain, but am scared to use finger yet,its still numb, and wont move up easy - but i dont use fingers 4 and 5, so it should be ok?
