don't be an idiot and go get it xrayed and see what the xray says:
if the ends are not aligned properly, they will 1 take longer to heal 2 possibley not heal together, causing a non union, and may need surgery to attempt to correct if you don't have insurance, price out an urgent care, and find an xray place that will take cash for a discount. edit - and if it is a complete break, taping isn't sufficient, you should get a splint and cast to keep the hand and finger from moving. |

Broke fingers (and toes) are a bitch. They hurt, limit you a ton, and in most cases not shit you can do about them. Tape it and ice it. If the swelling hasn't gone down by Monday, see a doc.
ETA: Just saw you don't have inc. at 3k I would just cut the damn thing off myself or wait till Zerocare kicks in.

As long as your joint still works and you don't need ligament repair, I would just brace & tape it up and call it good.

At least go to an urgent care and get it xrayed for cheap... that won't cost thousands of dollars.
Then get an appointment with an ortho or hand surgeon as a follow-up. That will cost you a hundred bucks or so. The hands are what we call "high-dollar real estate." For most people, their hands are their life... especially if you work with them. At least go get some basic xrays. |

The risk to the wildman is ruining his ability to earn a living (and maybe constant aggravating pain), and that circumstance slams the taxpayer with the cost of support afterwards. Great. |

I've broken my hand a few times and a finger once, employed at the times fueling planes once (lifting SPRs and 8' of 3 or 4" hose all day) the rest while a diesel mechanic, it is agony but not debilitating, before the bones fuse it really hurts when they move. If they're not near straight you can tell, if the joints don't work at all, I suppose something is wrong that never happened to me. If you wait a month to go to the doc they'll waste your money then tell you the only way they can fix it is to rebreak it, yeah no. I've only gone once, the first time, urgent care, it was weeks later when it was still swollen and hurting, they x-rayed and felt, etc, then said rebreak, I left about $600 poorer with a script for Motrin, it healed eventually.

The main complication of a phalanx (finger) fracture is rotation of the bones on either side of the fracture, causing misalignment after healing. Not a problem when your fingers are straight but when you make a fist, instead of all of your fingers staying lined up,the rotation will cause the misaligned finger to go under the fingers on either side, depending on which way it was rotated before it healed. Hard to explain in words. |

You can't make a fist the same way once you have one. |
