I feel you about gin and tiger football. During the bama game I ripped a side mirror off my car.

If you showed me your hands right now, I would not fight you.

Vernon Adams played D1 football with a broken index knuckle. Nut up, bro.

I had a boxer's break on my right pinky knuckle. Ortho xrayed it and said there's nothing that can be done, and my right pinky's now shorter than the left when you hold them up together. Consequence of being stupid and punching shite when mad.

If you have insurance, go see a doctor dude. Get it checked out. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Spit on it

As someone whose broken their fingers multiple times, I'll say this. Last time I was getting x rayed for something, I had them go ahead and x Ray my hand. They found multiple breaks and said some of the breaks had t grown back correctly and there might be issued later on. They said there really wasn't anything they could do.

And miss out on pain killers? Seems kinda dumb unless you're uninsured.

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?

I can tell you that yes it will. Knuckles heal themselves pretty well. Two of mine healed by themselves after breaking them into two pieces
X-ray costs like $75, but they'll just put you in a finger splint. You can do the same and save the $1000 and hour at the doctor
You can go anywhere with an X-ray machine, and they'll all tell you the same thing. Get a splint and tape it up

It depends on the extent of the break. By doing nothing you run the risk of a mal-union and surgery may be required to reset the bone. Don't frick with it, see a doctor.

Sure will, this is mine
Posted on 11/16/15 at 8:48 pm to LSUvegasbombed
I've broken most of my fingers and if it's not disjointed, it will be fine. Just give it time and it will heal.
Posted on 11/16/15 at 8:49 pm to RogerTheShrubber
What do you recommend for mine there, Doc?
Posted on 11/16/15 at 8:51 pm to Thib-a-doe Tiger
I'd get that checked out, looks disjointed.
Posted on 11/16/15 at 8:53 pm to RogerTheShrubber
It's been like that for about 12 years now lol

Oops. Too late.. 
Posted on 11/16/15 at 9:05 pm to LSUvegasbombed
Did you fracture your finger or metacarpal?

Recommendation:
Break it again and get it fixed if you care
