jammed finger

theres nothing really you can do for it...its happened to me but only on my catching hand..depending on how bad it was it could be between 2-5 days...

I don't knwo because i can't see it but when i thought i "jammed" my finger in March i never got it checked out because of tryouts. Turns out it was broken. If the pain persists you might want to get it checked into. Just a consideration.

Just a little story (it's true) about mi amigo.
His name is Dale and he really wanted to be a Navy Seal. Well one day he jammed his big toe on a chair and cussed and cussed and then the pain went away, but the toe continued to swell and get a little purplish. Well he continued to ignore it until a few months later he finally went to the doctor because it kept bothering him. Well they said that he broke it and it healed over the broken stuff and the only way it could be fixed would be via amputation.

Well, there went his chance to be a Navy Seal, because they wouldn't accept him because of the injury. He was accepted by the Marines, but he really wanted to be a Navy Seal.

The moral of the story is, it never hurts to get things checked out! Yes he had it amputated

Okay-that's a scary story. I think I will pass on telling him that one since he is only 11 Actually he did a great job keeping ice on his finger. He can bend his finger and it seems to not hurt as bad. I even caught him outside playing wiffle ball today. I think he is going to be fine and maybe even be up to Friday. Thanks for your input guys!

I strongly encourage to have it X-Rayed. My son had a similar injury, swollen, bruised he could move it though. 6 weeks later diagnosed as broken...to late to do anything for it.

It is almost better now. He has even practiced pitching and hitting with it. It is just tender now if he bumps it. He is ready to roll for the weekend but thank you for posting. Hopefully he learned to catch it with a glove and not a finger!
