Avatar m tn Turns out arthritic carpal bones have injured tendons to 1st thumb then index finger a month later. Wrist has to be fused to prevent further damage and carpal tunnel tendon repair attempted in 2 separate surgeries. Can I do any kind of (light) weight training or use a rowing machine after healing up?
Avatar f tn Yesterday I fell while hiking and broke my finger (right hand ring finger) Went to the ER got an x-ray that showed the break in-between the knuckle and the last joint on the finger. They gave me a referal to an ortho but he is out of town for a couple of weeks, so they said to call my Dr to get a referal for an ortho as soon as possible. The finger is severally swollen, bruising bad and I can't move it up or down.
Avatar m tn Go see your doctor soon to check up on how your finger is healing, and ask about the numbness.
Avatar m tn At a family get together on the 18th. I was burned by a bottle rocket on my left hand. The index finger is the worst, being numb during most of the day. The middle finger, ring finger and thumb also have burns. All fingers are dexterous, I can feel pressure when applied and nerves seem ok. The index finger is burned on the area near the nail bed including the nail itself, the burn is isolated to the right side of the nail and finger.
Avatar n tn Dear I usually Bite the dead skin around my fingernail when I get stressed, and I had this broken skin ( small wound ) beside my index, after 12 hours I met a girl, I don't know whether she has HIV or No, I did fingering for her for about 2 minutes and then directly I remove it and ran to the toilet washing it with Soap and Dettol.
Avatar f tn There is no point in getting a second opinion. The xray would have showed a broken bone. Your finger would have been strapped up to the next finger to keep it straight and broken bones take about 6 weeks to mend. torn tendons take much longer. I damaged my fibrial posterial tendon (at the back of my leg) by using the treadmill at the gym. I couldn't use my let for 9 months because of the swelling and pain. As you are concerned, you should see your doctor to put your mind at ease.
Avatar m tn Keep the finger straight and strap it to the next good finger. You can do this by putting a plaster around the bad and good finger. Most finger problems are dealt with in this way to help to immobilise the finger to let it heal. You can take pain relief as directed on the packet if you hurting a lot. Your profile says that you are 114 years old - congratulations a very ripe old age!
Avatar f tn About 3 weeks ago I got cut with a knife on my index finger and it sliced right through the tendons and bone. I went to the emergency room immediately after it happened, and I was scheduled to have surgery 3-4 days later. During the procedure they put screws in my bone to help the fracture heal. A week later I had a follow up appointment with the doctor.
382218 tn?1341181487 The pain is finally lessening and the splint will be shed when healing is complete. Her dominant hand index finger is permanantly fixed in a curved position. When there is ANY amount of bleeding it means the skin has been broken and bacteria have had an opportunity to enter. It sounds like your cut was close to or over your knuckle. The trip for bacteria from skin to knuckle is very short. The trip for antibiotics from blood to bone is long and difficult.
Avatar f tn First thank you for answering worried people questions ,,, I meet a girl worker from polonia in a night club in Germany I had a small broken area in my index finger nail 2 days befor not bleeding i fingerd her vagina wich was wet with that finger for 5 seconds then she sucked my penies for 5 seconds only after hand job ?, I ejaculated out side. 2 days later that finger had little oozing of dark discharge bloody like then it healed after another 4 days. Is there is any risk to had HIV. ????
Avatar n tn Sprains take awhile to heal, Best to keep it splinted tape it to the next finger for a temp and buy a splint at the drug store. Ibroprofen and ice may help relieve the swelling and inflamation. I believe 2-3 weeks is ample time- however if you can not bend it - its probably broken- you will need to see a doctor, get xrays and have them repair it.
Avatar m tn after washing i noticed a 1 cm cut on my finger(palmar surface)which was pain very very slightly.On careful examination i found it was broken skin on my index finger ,the cut ends were seperable but it was not bleeding nor i noticed any scab.it was my first experience so i was not careful while doing the practicals.i dont know whether there was blood on my finger or not before washing. i also dont know whether the gloves was tempered while doing practicals.
Avatar m tn I really would like to know how easy it would be to spread to the other parts of my body, I had not had a blister on my finger for months, then yesterday I noticed the beginnings of two on my right index finger, they were barely there, no broken skin or anything, but before I had spotted them I had put lotion all over my body right after the shower, including my genital area.
Avatar n tn fast forward the cut/bruise was about half index finger long and kinda dark. even though i needed stitches my mom said i didnt need em (god knows what she was thinking back in 1987) so fast forward to 6 months ago. (now i work as a building engineer) and a guy comes into the freight cargo elevator with an a-frame (these things carry sheet rock and there made of metal) and baboom hits the same cut i got 20 some what yrs ago.
Avatar n tn t think i broke anything just figured it was bruised but now the swelling has went down and my ring finger knuckle seems to be sunk in and my pinky knuckle pushed back in my hand. If i got to the doctor can they still reset it even though its been a week already?
Avatar m tn I briefly kissed her lips and fingured and sucked her vagina at the same time. However after having sex I realised that I had broken lips and cut on my finger. Now also I would like to state that I neither my lips or my finger was actively bleeding, but I fear that the vaginal fluid might have transmit HIV through either my fingers or my lips.
Avatar m tn Hello, hoping someone might be able to help me with this. I was playing guitar and I hit the strings with my index finger. I didn't even notice at the time and it didn't hurt or even draw blood. But the finger was sensitive for a few days and then it started to swell. A few days later the entire top half of the finger was twice the size. I went to see a doctor and she x-rayed it and said she couldn't see anything inside it although the x-ray doesn't pick up everything.
Avatar n tn I broke three fingers on my right. Ihave three pins in my little finger, three pins in my ring finger, my middle finger is also broken but didn't require pins. They are all broken in the first bone right above the knuckle.I am very concerned about the mobility of my hand after the pins come out. Next week is my surgery to have them removed.
Avatar n tn What treatment did you have for the broken fingers? Splinting with buddy tape? Cast? Stiffness is normal after any injury especially a fracture. If you had proper treatment I would feel comfortable telling you to exercise your hand. Squeeze a rubber ball or silly putty. Do stretches of you fingers pulling them back to just past the point of stiffness then forward. If you didnt' have treatment and a follow up xray to confirm healing, I would get that done first.
1708249 tn?1307937090 Hi my name is Carson, I'm a 21 year old caucasian male. About two hours ago I burned myself with a cigarette, in between my middle & index finger on my left hand. The primary burn mark is on the left inner part of my index finger. It really hurts! Right after the incident happened I put ICE on it for approx. 40 minutes, and then I put some NEOSPORIN creme on it; however it still really hurts! It stings, burns and hurts all in one. The mark is white, kind of looks like a square.
Avatar f tn t been able to make a fist since it happened however i can move my hand around and used by thumb, index sand middle finger, still have a lump in the 5th metacarpal bone, tender to the touch. I have also been experiencing numbness and cold fingers in my left hand. And yesterday i had what i can only describe as a muscle spasm in my pinkie finger and pain radiating into my forearm. Can someone tell me is what could be wrong and is it to late to do anything?
