i got my wisdom teeth pulled and got a dry socket so i couldnt eat anythin besides puddin and apple sauce and lost 10lbs in those 2 weeks. just when i was startin to get bavk where i was after about a month. i was out playin basketball and swatted the ball and really messed my pinkey up. it goes up to the first knuckle then left then back up. pretty sure i broke it, had my mom look at it(RN) and she said it didnt look to good. goin to see doc tomorrow cause it happened at 1015pm. really sucks

Thats rough man, but you should be able to work around a broken pinky if you're smart about it.

lifting with a broken pinky dosen't sound too pleasent.

Hope you have a quick recovery, I know I'm trying to keep every pound i'm gaining and I would be PI**ed if I lost that much weight after trying so hard to gain it. Sorry to hear. : (

I think that you can still lift all you want with a broken pinky. My friend got his index finger smashed to hell by a falling fire extinguisher. He still lifted all of his routine. The only thing that he couldn't do was shrugs. Keep going. Good luck.

yeah gaining back really doesnt take that long youll be surprised. i was sick for a month and and lost a lot of weight but gained it back in like 3 weeks so dont worry.

why didnt you eat cottage cheese, yougurt or protein shakes you could of got those down without chewing...

you can also get those gloves that have the hooks on them so it takes the presure off your fingers when doing shrugs. it looks rediculus but you could still lift

yea im prob goin do legs first so i can give this a few more days to heal. then might ease back into upper body.
i was told not to have dairy products because of the bacteria in it since its a live bacteria with a open hole in my mouth(because its a nice warm place to grow in that open wound). i think that doc was tellin me some **** though. went to a AF base hospital. (if u know anything about them that tells u everything). just glad i can still eat. that was the worst 2 weeks of my life not being able to eat.

I wouldn't force it. Though it seems like the manly thing to do to just stick it out, and lift through the pain, you're going to be lifting with poor form, and you're going to further damage your finger. Don't make your decision as to when to return to the gym until you've talked to a doctor, and gotten a full diagnosis. a broken finger can heal in a few weeks, or it can heal in a few years, it all depends on how you treat it. If you must, ask your doctor about active casts, and maybe you can get a splint designed for athletes. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT continue lifting if it hurts the way it did when it "broke." You can cause serious lifelong damage to your joints in your finger. My $.02

yea your right cause i thought i could do more than i am but my right hand is useless because of that pinky. i didnt think a pinky was that big of a deal till i broke. im prob still goin to do legs and some cardio. yea i have to go back next week to talk to someone else about it. but it should only be like a max of 3 weeks. hopefully since im 19 that thing heals quicker and i dont have any problems.

so today i went back to a differnt doc about my pinky. i got a call this mornin at 8:00 am and them sayin they needed to see me right away. come to find out when i fractured my pinky the bone chipped and went into the cartilage which could be a problem. also said that it might have gone into my growth plate which means i could have to get a pin in my finger. but he said everythin looks good and that it was a clean break

Yeah, I've had carpal tunnel for like four years now from playing guitar and bass for a long time, and using the keyboard on the computer when I was younger and overweight obviously didn't help. Anyways, I didn't even notice it until I started lifting weights, and on curls my wrist would hurt like a mother. Couldn't do much for a while, but since then I've been able to work out fine without too much pain, I guess I just learned to ignore it.
