Dislocated
I dislocated my pinky finger playing football this past Saturday.
It was kind of a freak incident. The ball wasn’t coming in particularly fast or anything, it just hit a weird spot and bent my finger.
It was a cold day and I didn’t really feel it, but definitely noticed something was off when I looked down at my hand right after.
So off to the ED I went and after some x-rays, the physician realigned and splinted it.
If any of you have ever taken your pinky fingers for granted, don’t anymore. I can’t believe how many things have become harder to do with an immobilized pinky finger.
Typing is tough, driving is different, and believe it or not, tying your shoes is difficult.
I got fitted with a new smaller splint today and will have to wear it for a good two months while doing some finger exercise physical therapy. Protect your body!

!! Hope you heal quickly and painlessly!
Thanks Karen!
Two months without my pinky would kill me. Good luck!
Thanks Shaun!
