Hi,

Went back to the GP again as wasn't happy with the progress. Been just over 3 weeks now and still bruised and defaults to a position further out than the rest of my fingers. When I bend it, the fingertip actually points away from my palm, rather than curling around into it, so think there is something wrong. Doctor thought there might be a problem with the ligaments or tendons, as lots of creaking, and clicks as I bend it dow, and also bruised still at the two joints in my finger. The only break was at the base of the proximal phalanx, and this was apparently only a small crack. Have had a second xray done, so awaiting the results.

Am worried now that there must be something else wrong as if the bone hasn't moved out of aligment or rotated, I can't understand why my finger is bending away from my hand or straight down at best, rather than nicely into my palm as the other hand does..by the time I know anymore I am going to be 5 weeks since the injury, and presumably to know if there is any ligament or tendon damage I will need some kind of scan, which will drag this out for ages?

Just can't find anything on the internet that seems to be the same to give me any idea what is wrong, so confused at present.
