My finger got an owie
Sparring tonight I blocked a kick with my hand and missjudged it. Instead of slapping the kick away the foot contacted the finger tips on my right hand jamming them in. on initial inspection the middle finger was deformed at the first joint; the part connected to the hand was below the rest of the finger. It looked like the end of the finger was riding over the top of the knuckle. The ring finger was just sore as hell. First thing I did was grab both fingers and pull, probably stupid but That's what I did.
That hurt like shit but the finger was now sorta normal. Both fingers immediately swelled at the first joint and slightly beyond in both directions.
This happened at approx 7PM. It is now 2 hours later and the swelling is down slightly on the ring finger. The joint feels "full" but I can bend it with minimal pain. The middle finger is still swollen and hurts just above the first joint to type, use a pencil, hold a glass, etc. The pain is throbbing continuously and sharp when doing one of the foresaid items. There is also sharp pain at the top joint on this finger. I can bend it about an inch before the pain at the joint says fook you.
I see only a slight darkening on the backside of the middle finger at the joint. I didn't use to worry about this type of thing but since I'm getting a little older I thought I'd ask for an opinion from all the docs here. Pics in a minute.
