Is it normal to not know if finger is fractured ?

Its been 2 weeks since I last tried catching a rugby ball that bent my index finger right back and its still bit sore when I use pressure on it … For a few days i could not use it and it developed a bad bruise. I know it wasnt broken since I could still manage to bend it without excruciating pain just wondering if its normal that it still bit tender ??

    I did the same to a thumb once while goalkeeping with no gloves on. It took a good 2-3 weeks to heal. It sounds like it's just a nasty bone bruise, which doesnt necessarily heal quick. Since you've waited 2 weeks. Wait one more? It's likely to only get better from here

    They only way you can be sure it's not broken is to get an x ray. A broken bone must be put back in alignment for it to heal correctly. Not saying it's broken, but just saying. Nomsayin!

    Since you answered your own question "I know it wasnt broken" why did you post this? Are you just looking for sympathy?
    OK, then; poor baby, there there, "Don't worry about a thing, Cause every little thing gonna be all right.."

    • I really shouldnt have to explain it to you (*sighs*) but your either very young or acquire the knowlege of a 5 year old. Hmm I wonder why I bothered to write a post asking if someone knew if my finger may be fractured… OH I remember now. Maybe because I fuking dont know the exact signs of a fuking fracture! Theres a difference between a break and a fracture that I do know u ignorant fool. If I was looking for sympathy I would either be complaining in my post. I was stating facts but u obviously cant discern the two. If I was id be crying to my muma which is most likely what u do az ur the one that is acting immature and because you said it, its obvious you do it .

    Put an ice pack on your finger. If it's excruciating then you've fractured it.
