Question:
Is it still supposed to hurt?
i hurt my pinky earlier this wk. I already went to my doc who said that it's sprained. He gave me a straight splint for my finger but now, it hurts worse. Sometimes, I have to take it out of the splint becaue the pain is unbearable. While in the splint, it shakes and gets numb and hurts. Why??? It's nothing more than a sprain.
Answers:
it will hurt for awhile. Spraining a body part hurts worse and longer than breaking it. When you sprain a joint, ligaments get stretched and torn. there is a lot of swelling and pain. It will get stiff and you will not want to move it. it takes 4-6 weeks for it to feel somewhat normal. Ice it and take ibuprofen as needed for pain. Hang in there. It is totally normal you just have to be patient.
