    Finger injury
    I slamed my right hand in a car acciden't. My ring and pinky finger are now bent, and won't open all the way, or go together with my other fingers. There is no swelling or brusing. There is absolutely no pain at all, a little bit of numbness witch seems to be going away . It has been one week since accident. Any help would be great, I don't have insurance and don't want to run to the doctors if it is not nessecery. Thanks scott

    It sounds like you may have jammed your fingers. If this is the case then you should immobilize the finger or toe using a splint or bandage and use an anti-inflammatory agent such as ibuprofen. If you experience numbness for longer than one hour and it's not because of ice, seek medical attention immediately.

    Most jammed fingers heal completely if there is no fracture or dislocation. Since you are not able to move you fingers though, your best bet may be to see a doc...
