Is my pinkie broken?
I hit a wooden pillar and now I can't crack my pinkie finger, plus when I clutch my fist the knuckle doesn't come up. Plz post an answer ASAP cuz at this point I'm freaked out.
Thanks for the advice!

Hi and thanks for using the forum.
Ouch! That sounds like it hurts. The only way to know for sure if you finger is broken or not is to have an x-ray done. You can call your doctor for a prescription or you can go to the emergency room. In the meantime, use ice on the finger to help reduce swelling. Good luck.
