Finger bone: If your finger is broken or fractured and it heals incorrectly you will have more problems in the future. I respect the fact that you don't want to go to the doc but please do so anyway. It will give you peace of mind and avoid possible problems later. Peace and good health.

Some basics: A finger is a complex part. It has ligaments that anchor to various positions on the finger that allow you to fully extend or flex it. A break can not just hurt, it can allow a ligament to pull its anchor away. If not properly cared for it can ruin that fingers mobility permanently. If you can make a fist & fully extend fingers it may be okay now, but may happen later. Bruising suggests a break
