anyone know anything about weird fingers??
i thought i'd put this up here too... just in case someone might be able to help me out?? i've been to the doctor here and it took me 3 hours and $25 to get an appointment... only to have him call a friend to recommend a finger splint. so needless to say, im not planning to go back...
but i was playing volleyball and im not sure exactly what happened but probably hit the ball funny on my finger. and anyways, now it's bent like in the picture. i can straighten it if i pull it straight, but it bends as soon as i let go. it's not super painful... it hurts a little to the touch on top of the middle of the 3 bones in my finger, and theres a bit of a bump somewhere in there, and it hurts to push the bent part even more bent... but other than that, it's not painful.
i thought it'd straighten itself out by now, but its been 2 weeks and its still bent funny. i've been taping it straight and making home-made splints out of a cereal box... should be doing anything else??

see if you can find a popsicle stick for a stronger splint. i'll ask my roomie if she has any ideas, since this is what she studies...sorta. i didn't realise it was this bad when you told me...now i see why you type with your index fingers :P

Hey you know what we do in Norway with problems like that? We cut it off, then it wont hurt any more. Just come by ones in I can do it for you, it only takes i minute, and you still have nine left.

dr. tang in the house! sounds like your ligaments could be tight. did you sprain it or anything? the ligament attaches those two bones, so if it's tighter than normal, it will bend your finger like that (think double-jointedness).
that is the most random thing ever though!!
