Hi
Was poo picking this morning, raking through the aubiose (like shavings - and with gloves on, I hasten to say) when caught my hand on a rise in the ground and as my fingers were straight and I was using considerable force, the pain in my middle finger was enough to bring tears to my eyes.
When I took off said gloves to inspect the damage, found that my finger, the middle one, is completely bent over at the top joint and I can't straighten it out.
It is now very sore and stiff and noticed that for some strange reason, that when I touch anything with that finger it feels as if the object has a dent in it! It was my thermos at first, and just thought, blast I must have dropped it but then it was a china mug and I know you can't get dents in them.
Is it tendon damage? and if so will it right itself?
Can put up with the soreness and stiffness but it's a flaming nuisance not being able to use it properly.

, that sounds very nasty, poor you! I'd def get to the docs/A&E? (why do these things always happen when the surgery is shut for the w/e?) asap if I were you, sounds as though you need some prof help with this one. Will await a post from someone with some medical knowledge - not me, sadly. Look after yourself and take care (((hugs))).
