I sprained my finger, but now it is all black and blue. do i need to go see the doctor?

Probably: Just because you are black and blue doesnt mean you have a serious injury. You may just have a bruise/ contusion. On the other hand i have seen many patients with minimal swelling and pain who turn out to have fractures so if there is nay question i would get an xray and an exam.
