Off Topic · Ever break a finger? (page 1)

Man this sucks. I was pursuing a loose ball in a basketball game and this guy who was probably 100 lbs heavier than me collided with me. Needless to say, I took the worse end of the hit! I hit the floor and my body landed on my right pinky and I got a displaced fracture. The ER doc sort of pushed the bone back into place. It hurts though. No more hoops for about 40 to 8 weeks depending on how it heals. I'm just hoping that I do make a full recovery. Right now the finger seems really messed up.

Pretty much had the same thing back in 10th grade, in gym class playing football. I caught a punt and broke my finger in 2 joints. I continued to play and that messed it up more. My pinky is deformed to this day b/c of that. I thought I actually might have broke my middle finger a few weeks ago playing bball, but it doesn't seem like that now, although it hurts a little from time to time.

I broke my pinker finger in basketball back in 10th grade as well.

Broke my pinky toe 3 summers ago by smashing into my dresser. That wasn't fun.

Damn! Argh! Just saw the orthopedist. I gotta have surgery to have a plate put in. Best case scenario is that I do make a full recovery and I can ball again in 3 months.

When people don't pay up on time you gotta do what you gotta do

Haven't broken one but when I was a kid I had the tip of my left pinky smashed - luckily I was young enough that most of it grew back and I still have the nail - but it is shorter than the right hand not to mention it hurt like a mofo.

Damn, same exact thing happened to me with the same exact results damn near and I was around the same age. Spooky.

Only difference between our situations is that I am very good looking.

Broke my right pinky playing basketball when I was in the 9th grade. Got it caught in another guys jersey. It's still bent to this day. I played next 3 months left handed. I am now the most ambidextrous basketball player you have ever seen. Ever!

I feel down a flight of concrete steps and broke my index, middle and pinky finger. I also had a concussion.

I fell off my bike and chipped my two front teeth, but never broken a bone. but teeth are like bones, they are strong.

Had the surgery yesterday. Doc said it went well but it's quite painful!

vicodin or percocet?

Dude, I just did the hand thing, and I'm a REAL MACHO MAN...but I knew this already.

vicodin. The pain is gradually subsiding. It hurts more than you might think, though, to have screws drilled into a bone!

Same here but several women have already told me this. Only an insecure guy would need to look up a test oh his macho-ness on the internet!

Bonnie, You really read any of Orangeblobman's posts?

This is not the guy you want to align yourself with.

Wait are we talking about a finger or a leg? Butch up you'll have a crocked finger but otherwise you'll survive
