A member asked:
I fell last night and thought i just jamed my finger but i woke up today and there is a tiny bruise above my knuckle sprained or broken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably sprained: The bruise just indicates trauma If you have pretty good movement of the finger with mild pain it's probably just a sprain Use ice and tape the finger to the one next to it to protect If it's extremely painful with motion, you may need a x-ray
