update: finally got it looked at and x-rays didn’t show any fractures, seems like it was just dislocated but due to the spraining on the lower knuckle it bruised more and appeared more crooked than a dislocation typically would.
the hand specialist also told me that my finger joints are abnormally loose and flexible which explains why it’s so easy for my fingers to get hurt + why they always seem worse than they actually are
he was disturbed by my ability to crack my knuckles horizontally so i guess i’m just built different
update: I kept hitting it on things and it probably fractured at the lowest knuckle after all the collective damage it endured
and then I broke the knuckle above that one on the same finger making a tackle during rugby
my right pinky has been through a lot this year
update: ‘tis just a sprain, i have once again proved how great i am at panicking and assuming the worst when it comes to injuries
hey if I could go one full academic year without severely injuring a finger that’d be pretty epic
