My pinkie and index fingers were bent backwards while playing football.?

Question:

The bruising and swelling have gone down, but I cannot make a complete fist because it hurts too much. Could it be broken or just jammed.

Answers:
had that happen a long time ago..could be broken. go see a doctor.and get used to not ever making a fist again ( i have a thumb that wont bend as much as the other.from a 350 pound lineman landing on me..)

Other Answers:
You probably should see a doctor. You may need x-rays.

Either way, a doctor isn't going to do anything but put a splint on it. So you can go to a pharmacy, they should have splints or you can take a popsicle stick in between the two fingers that hurt and wrap it with tape to keep you from bending them until they heal.

Had the exact same thing happen in an indoor Soccer Semifinal game a few years back. I'm a goalie, and my hand snapped back on a shot. I kept on playing and after I took my goalie glove off, the hand was swallon. Btw, we lost 2-1 : (

I slightly fractured (hairline) three fingers and damaged the ligaments in my hand. I couldn't curl my hand for weeks, couldn't even grip a pen.

Advice: go get an X-ray. Keep moving your sprained hand, slowly day-by-day it will extend a little more. If you can curl it a bit, squeeze a tennis ball, this will exercise the ligaments.
