A member asked:
I bent my finger back 2 weeks ago it swelled and went blue, i could still move it. its gone down still swollen what's wrong with it, sprained?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible sprain: If still blue, see doc, esp if cold and blue. Otherwise if getting better and able to move it without pain, ice and rest it. Of not improving, see your doctor. You can also take anti inflammatories like ibuprofen. You want to make sure there is no fractures.
