    Injured middle finger and wrist
    I injured my middle finger and wrist by falling a month ago, I didn't go to the doctor because I could move them and didn't seem broke. Well my finger is still swollen at the joint and a little curved and my wrist hurts when I push against it. Should I spend the money for exrays and see a doctor? Won't they just tape my fingers and give me a brace?

    Obviously, your X-rays would determine treatment. I can relate a story: my son hurt his wrist, had X-rays, but they showed nothing, so it was considered a sprain. He continued to complain of pain, so we went to an orthopedic surgeon. He discovered a wrist fracture which required surgery. My advice: get it checked out.
