A member asked:
When i was moving a couch (for charity), my teacher accidentally let go of it, and my pinky got injured. now it hurts.why and should i go to a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Further information: Can you straighten and bend your finger? Is the finger swollen? Did you drop the couch on your finger? Does anything feel like it crunches when you move the finger? Certainly if you cannot fully extend the finger or fully been the finger you may have a tendon injury. It really just depends on the physical exam.
