Re: Dislocated pinky....HELP!!!!

I did the exact same thing on Friday, and it is now Monday and my finger is still significantly larger than my other pinky. I can clench in a fist but there is still some pain. I also experience pain when I apply any sort of pressure or resistance to my pinky in any direction. Should I visit the doctor, or just wait to see if I get full usability back.

Thanks. I will remember not to steal the ball by reaching around the back next time, and surely will remember not to lead with my pinky again...

Blessings,
Alex
