Could my fingers be broken?

Okay, my boyfriend ran in the Baltimore marathon yesterday. Due to the huge crowd, we agreed that we would meet each other back at "Inner Harbor". I was hurrying back as quick as I could when I tripped on the uneven walkway at the Orioles stadium. Yes, very embarrassing! But, I realllllllly jammed my pointer and middle finger on my right hand. They are both swollen about 50% their normal size, bruised with the bruise extending about inch into my palm, and I cannot bend them. As long as I don't move them or jam them, they don't hurt (anymore), but they look bad. I am a dental assistant, so needless to say, I am not going to be "as" dexterous as I usually am. Are they broken, and what can I do for them?



Thanks!Could my fingers be broken?
As a dental assistant,you should know that the only way to tell is with an xray. They could possibly be sprained but can't second guess this one. Put you hand under the xray at work and have the dentist look at it.Could my fingers be broken?
I did jammed my same two fingers a few yrs. ago...i went to the dr. and he took xrays, nothing was broken and he didnt do anything..try soaking them in warm water..dont use ice...ice made mine throb..it will take a couple weeks before the swelling goes down..hope this helps sorry its not muchCould my fingers be broken?
You should see an orthopedic. I kind of thought that a broken finger was no big deal but now that I am in the Orthopedic field I know that if a finger is broken it needs to be fixed-even if they are not broken,they will probably splint them until they can properly heal. Also if you do nothing and wait it out, arthritis can set in and cause you pain in the future so better safe than sorry! (If by any chance you are near Dallas Texas,I can get you in tomorrow) Also you may have injured some nerve endings in your fingers which could possibly get numb or tingly so definately see a Doctor tomorrow. In the meantime-ice on 20 minutes and then off for 20 minutes and if you are an adult and not allergic you can take 800mg of Ibuprofein every 8 hours(if it doesn't irritate your tummy). If you are not an adult you can just take the normal dose for your age on the side of the bottle. This will help with swelling,pain, and inflammation. Good Luck!
find out by an x-ray

if its broken, you cant do much anyway..just buddy strap the fingers together

you can ice your hand until the swelling reduces initally

also take simple painkillers eg tylenol and anti-imflammatories eg ibuprofen

when the swelling subsides go for hot packs to aid healing
