A member asked:

At school i got in a fight today and i have a severe pain with numbing and swelling of my pinky on my left hand is it broke or fractured by any chance?

Possibly yes: There is a very good chance that it is broken. The only way to find out for sure is to have an x-ray taken. You can have this done at your doctor's office, and urgent care facility, or a hospital emergency room.

Fight injuries: Include fifth metacarpal fractures or so called boxers/fighters fractures; fight bites, lacerations to the knuckle from a tooth that get badly infected, fractures or the base of the fifth or fourth metacarpals associated a times with subluxation of the CMC joint, I can list things like this all day... If you are painful swollen and numb after fight get seen , get prayed and get taken care of
