Hey guys...son dislocated his middle finger, at the middle joint on his GLOVE hand diving back into 2nd base Tuesday night...trainer set it back into place on site, but has him scheduled to get it x-rayed today...this is the first injury of this type he's had...am curious about possible recovery time and possible implications...
It's a bit swollen and somewhat sore...he's not complaining about "pain"...actually, the trainer currently has it splinted and buddy taped to the other finger...son, still went to practice yesterday and was able to get both fingers in one glove hole and was able to catch...
Obviously he can't grip a bat, but, being his glove hand, HE still says he's pitching his start tomorrow night...does anybody think this will be a problem?
Of course, I know...this forum is simply for opinions and not solid medical advice, but was curious if anyone has any experience with this injury...it seems sublime, but maybe more to it than we are aware of.
THANKS!
