Question:

Is my jammed finger healing properly?

I got hit dead on the tip of my finger with a football over a week ago. I iced and elevated my finger the first 2 days to help with the crazy swelling. Since then, the swelling is gone and the bruising has faded. Now, there isn't a lot of pain unless I squeeze gently around the joint. Also, it is very stiff. I can't make a tight fist or straighten the finger out all the way yet.

Does this sound like the normal healing process for a jammed finger? I hate to go to the doctor for something that isn't really bothering me, but I am a little nervous that it isn't healing as quickly as it should.

Any advice or past experiences would be helpful, thank you!

  1. Hard to say without a proper examination. I'd say it's time to consult a sports physician.
