fractured my pinky
i fractured my pinky whilst goalkeeping last monday. i got it checked on thursday and an xray was taken. my pinky was buddy taped to my ring finger and the nurse told me not to straighten it.
i went back saturday night and another nurse told me to keep it straight and not to bend it. im confused. i have an appointment on friday with a doctor at the hospital but i dont know what to do in the interim because i know its a race against time to treat it properly.
also how do i buddy tape it properly? i cant straighten or bend the finger without pain. i have already changed the tape 4 times and hurts everytime i do it.
