    noooooo. its completely recovered. that was sarcasm. and yes, i do believe you may have a major fracture in your flange. go and buy a splint at walmart, or you can get a full diagnosis at you doctors office. hope you got insurance (that was a oxie moron... you know... cuz of obama??!! haaaaaaahaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

    Quite possibly.

    Normal procedure would be to strap it quite tightly to the finger next to it, or to a splint, to help stabilise it whilst it heals. If you are still using it, you may aggravate it and slow the healing process.

    I would suggest going to the doctor and having it x-rayed. Occassionally, depending on the fracture, some special treatment may be required. But more than likely it will just need to be strapped.

    Healing is normally 4-6 weeks.

    fracture or broken is a definite possibility. Lots of people break fingers punching ****.

    It could be broken or sprained really bad. I suggest going to the doctor and checking it out.
