What's the difference between a jam and a sprain in my finger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There can be: I have "jammed" my finger only to find out it was broken later on. A sprain is a medical term which involves tearing of ligaments. A "jam" is a non-medical term for almost any injury to a finger resulting in almost any type of damage.
