Broken fingers !

how long do fingers take to heal ? broke my ifnger & knuckle with a f**k off big hammer today, didn' arf urt,

You have to realise that your fingers will heal a lot sooner than the embarassment will fade.

If you were jockey you wouldn't even have gone to hospital.

A professional biker racer you'd have been out on the next leg.

But, depending on how bad the fractures actually are, it should only take about 2-3 weeks.

Again, depending on how bad, you may get residual pain for quite a while to come.

As soon as possible it is important that you start some kind of physio to maximise mobility.

Aaaaaaagh, did somebody mention a hammer?

[paulzxr]

not just any hammer, but the biggest hammer i had ! swelling has now gone from my fingers up to the back of my hand, so not only can i not bend my fingers i couldnt get a glove on to ride anyway, teach'd me a lesson though

When I was a kid. Didnt go to hospital till the next day. The bone I broke was my ring finger but in my hand. The doctor pulled it out longer than my middle finger. I SCREAMED! Obnly took a few weeks to heel. But it still aches sometimes when I put sustained pressure on it.
