Worth an opinion?
Caught a football wrong 2-3 weeks ago, pinky was super purple when I looked at it later that night but didn't hurt and I could easily straighten it. I couldn't bend it all the way, but trying didn't hurt. It's not bruised anymore, but it's still pretty swollen and now it does hurt if I play guitar or bend it all the way (doesn't hurt when it's straight though). I kinda don't want pain when I play guitar and would rather wait out a heal time than see a doc, and sometimes that works but sometimes you screw up your hip skiing and have issues with it for 5+ years.

I'm sorry you are in that situation. Wish I knew what to say to help.
When I go to the doctor after an injury, it is not usually for the purpose of healing but for the sake of making sure an injury heals properly. I have had injuries heal badly which left me with additional problems. But that's just me. I cannot really offer advice. I hope your finger gets better soon!!! |

Yup, give it another week or two it should be okay. When you can play the guitar again pain free, the healing process will be complete🙏

The fact that you can move it means the joints aren't dislocated. If you do the RICE protocol, it should be okay in a couple of weeks. RICE = Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. The ice should be indirect (inside a thin towel) and applied only for 20 minutes at a time.
Recently, another letter was added to that RICE protocol, but I don't remember it.

I showed my pdoc this morning (I bent it and she wanted to know why I made a face). She looked at it, and now I have an appointment at the clinic in a couple hours. She said it looks dislocated.
Ugh now I have to wait around and find shyt to do because there’s no point in going home just to come back.

I once had a dislocated finger. There was no way I could move it. But I guess there are degrees of severity....
Anyway, I hope it was taken care of!
