Is my finger fractured?
Today at softball ,I was batting and i swung and hit the ball off my middle and index fingers. Right after it was blue and swollen. We put ice on it and it wasnt blue anymore but still swollen. I took the ice off 30 mins ago, and it turned a purple blue color, they both are, and i can only move them barely to my second knuckle. I have a huge knot on my middle finger. Help!!! should i go to the docter or is it just a bad jam? or a fracture?

First off, it sounds like the ball hit you. lol. Second i would recommend going to a doctor because that amount of force is more than enough to break a finger or a knuckle and the intense swelling and large knot either indicate just a bruise... or a fracture. I cannot say without actually manipulating the finger or looking at an x ray. But either way, it would be wise to go to the doctor and get an x-ray to be sure.
