ouch! (not baby related)

OH just threw a cricket ball at me, so i could catch it and look at it. but you know when you catch something wrong and it hits the front of your fingers and kind of pushes them back, it did that. i just burst into tears (probably exagurated by hormones!) and it still really hurts, its my right hand and im right handed so its taking me a while to write this with my left hand! its really weak and shaking. im sorry for going on but does anyone know what ive done to it? cos i know it isnt broken cos i can bend it-ish. im just in loads of pain, help! xxx

Awww bless u! Is it still hurting?
I know the pain ur describing..i had a basketball thrown at me in the same way and my fingers went all the way back.
Not pleasant..my fingers were badly bruised. Not a lot you can do about it really unless you have broken a bone in which case they will strap your fingers together. x

you might just have reeeeeeeeally bruised this. I was on my school rounders team (back in the day) and my friend threw the ball at me really hard (no way I could catch it without injuring me lol) and bruised em really badly. They really swelled up and turned kinda black lol. Had em strapped up for 4 weeks. Was my left hand so wasn't to bad but it was just the weeks before my GCSE PE Practical exams so I had NO practise lol. if it still hurts in the morning get it checked out =]

Dno what its called but sounds like it needs to be pulled out b bk in again, kind like dislocation. I did that alot when I was younger n my mum used t pulled it till it either popped bk into place or popped out n then it;d go bk right.xx
