Bending pinky: is this the first time? can you pop it back into place?Was there an inury? or do you do this all the time ,it is just so mobile?

Arthroplasty: The best way to never have one again is to see a podiatrist and have a simple in office procedure called a arthroplasty. This is where the head of the proximal phalanx is removed hence forever removing the pressure point which causes the lesion to occur.

Question 9

what to do if i hit my pinkie finger and its tingling?

Accepted Answer

Wait: If this happens briefly then there is no need for treatment. If the symptoms persist or keep the recurring for weeks and months, then you need to see a neurologist. You probably will need your EMG study.

Question 10

my pinkie finger won't go straight, what is wrong with it?

Unknown: Unfortunately, conditions such as these can't be diagnosed on the web. A physician needs to look at it and maybe even biopsy it. I suggest you make an appointment.
