A member asked:
My pinky finger is swollen and bruised could it be broken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Broken finger: If you had an injury to the finger, recommend getting xrays to rule out a fracture. In a young, active male with a painful, swollen finger, this would be my first concern. Infection can also be a cause if there was no injury. Either way, recommend evaluation by a healthcare provider
