How serious is my injured finger? |
I have a deep cut on my right index finger that occured last Thursday night. It is right on the may flexible joint in the middle of the finger. Since Saturday, it has swelled up substantially but has not turned red. ***As of right now I have the next scheduled doctors appointment which is tomorrow at 10 am. Would you guess that this would be fine or should I try to go to the emergency room? I would go to the ER. see your doctor wait till it falls off then maybe go to the doctor The irony...The same thing happend to me three + weeks ago. I got my right index finer slammed into a car door...right at the joint part. It bled very little, and did not hurt tremendously until the next day. Mine swelled a lot too. Just wait it out....slowly exercise it daily....(finger push-ups). Put neosporin (spelling) and knuckle band aids on it everyday and wash it out wtih hydroperoxide (spelling again). Mine is almost completely healed now. Feels fine too. Its all good! dr's appt should be fine. for the swelling, ice it, and it prly wouldnt' hurt to put neosporin or something similar on the cut. |
