Dr. Cornelius Oleary answered

Specializes in Urgent Care

Hand pain: Hi MrlinaliniQ, If you have severe pain where you can barely move your fingers, you need to see a doctor, I would visit the Emergency Department. Your doctor will most likely want to take x-rays of your hand to determine whether a fracture has occurred.
