Q. I hurt my little finger while playing, and the X-ray shows no fracture. Please help.
Hello doctor,
I have been experiencing pain around the bone of the little finger. It is just below the end of the finger, near the joint of the bone joining the palm. I did an X-ray and no crack was shown. I play cricket. So, I experienced this after taking a catch two months ago. It pains every time I take a catch, and me being an import and fielder, I cannot evade fielding. I took six weeks of rest, and still experienced the same pain. I took pain killers and even applied some gel, but nothing has helped so far.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- It is mostly a ligament and capsular sprain of the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint.
- Just taking rest will not suffice. You need to strap it. Do an extended buddy strapping. It is a buddy strapping that extends to the palm area.
- Alternatively, you can use a Capener splint.
- Avoid playing till pain persists.
