so its minor fracture in the pinkie knuckle aka boxer break

Today's DR of course said the hand specialist I'm seeing tomorrow is going to suggest surgery I assume to re-align.

Is this really worth it over a sort of common fracture of the pinkie knuckle?

It will heal on its own. Rub some vagisil on it and be done with it

I had swelling for over 2 weeks and finally broke down and went to the orthopedic (former LSU OL Chris Rich, BTW) - he laughed and said, "You got lucky on this one - this is a rare example of a break that can't really hurt you." Splinted it for about an hour and it was fixed.

So, shake it off, Nancy.

Everything will heal on its own. Might not be exactly right after but it'll heal.

Just hope there isn't any avulsion fracture or extensor mechanism damage.

hopefully it's on your pick hand and not your fret hand. you can always tape your fingers on your pick hand like kirk hammett.
