Have I broken it?

[Barmaid]

I was playing silly buggers with my step son earlier. Somehow my ring finger on my left hand got bent back at the joint nearest the tip. I cannot now move it. it is hugely swollen (i am dipping it in ice cold liquid at present). the tip on the underside has, in the space of about 3 hours gone a really horrid black colour.

Do I a) just drink more alcohol and hope that it doesn't get any worse
b) go to casualty and see what they say or
c) something else

TBH the pain is bloody excrutiating. I've actually strapped it to my third finger because I can manage to type like that. But if I catch it, it brings tears to my eyes.

Sugar sorry, wrong section.

Please ignore, will report in B&S. Ed can you remove, please.

[Barmaid]

for "report" read "repost". You see, I am not myself.

I would go to A&E myself, but get someone sober to drive me there.

Animals and Nature, was that a Freudian slip?

[sara3]

question is, does she know anyone who's sober?

Don't leave it til next day, they might say it's too late to sort it, happened to me and after 6 years I can't bend that joint. You'll have a heck of wait tho on a Friday night but go xx

Drink more alcohol and go to casualty. When you get home via taxi, follow the doctor's advice, and drink more alcohol.

If it hurts two mutsch dronk som moore alchohole.

Have you got a ring on the ring finger? If so you either need to take it off or you may have to have it cut off - this happened to me (twice!) and I had to have the ring cut off once at the doctors and once at the fire station(!).
Cut off the ring I mean, not the finger!
