Anyone ever break their finger??

I cracked the knuckle on my right thumb 35-40 years ago, but since it still worked [sort of] I didn't bother going to the doctor. It doesn't give me any trouble now, but it kind of looks like I have a bunion on my hand, and it's obvious when compared to my left hand that something did indeed happen to it. But if your finger has stayed swollen that long, you really should see a doctor.

I had the same finger slammed in doors twice by two different people. Neither time did anyone think to take me to the doctor. This happened over twenty years ago. The top end of the finger that was broken is now wider than the rest of the finger, and swollen if you look at the finger from the side. It doesn't hurt at all and it doesn't prevent me from doing anything normally.

If I were you I would get yours fixed while it still can be. (Of course I don't know if you can have them repaired later in life--maybe you can if they break it?--I wouldn't want to go through that pain twice!)
