My healed broken finger still hurts!! Help!!!!!?

Question

a couple of months ago, i got in a fight and broke a couple of fingers. one was broken so badly, that i had to have surgery to correct it. $10,000 dollars later, my finger (i had a s***w put in in my middle knuckle, its my pinkie) is still slightly swollen. my knuckle bumps out quite a bit now (it looks like i have BAD arthritis, haha) and although i have almost full ROM (range of motion, for those who don't know) it still hurts REALLY bad when i move it. i'm fine if its still, but as soon as it bends... OUCH!!! what can i do? my Dr. said its healed completely well & i don't go 2 see him anymore. i don't really want to talk 2 him about it because i don't want to have to spend any more money. any suggestions?? will the pain go away?

Answer 1

i'm going to have surgery on my pinky finger, and the doctor said that it might feel irregular. try keeping it either hot, or cold. Unless your doctor instructed you not to.

Answer 2

Sounds like your Doc didn't set it right....not suppose to hurt after it has healed...

Shouldn't cost you anything..he fu****** up....make him do you right!!!  You paid for a service and alot of money..he owes you....HUGS!!

Answer 3

It takes an incredibly long time for the pain to go away.  What you can do to help is exercises daily.  Like the little ball to squeeze to exercise the whole hand.  A little each day and a little longer each time to build back the strength and diminish the pain.  

No pain no gain theory here.  Good luck.

Answer 4

well even if the bone heals sometimes the nerves in the muscles can still be damaged. i broke my thumb awhile a go..its completely healed by it occasionally hurts and causes problems for me..like i cant write nonstop for more than like 30 min. but who knows..just wait a bit and see what happens. if the pain persists..i suggest you get in contact with someone you know who's a doctor.
