    Just duct tape it to your other two fingers, should be good to go in 3 or 4 weeks. If it's bleeding, a couple drops of super glue does the trick. :D

    Ice it so the swelling goes down. Once the swelling is down take a good look to see that it's still straight. If not, pull it straight out then release. The tendons will pull the bone back into position. Then wrap it with a finger splint and ace bandage, both available at any drug store. I've had to set a few this way. It works and is exactly how a doctor will set it. but be prepared, it will hurt like a mother #$%&(÷ when you do it.

    This will not work for a major compound fracture, but i guaranty you that you don't have a compound fracture. you would have gone straight to the hospital.

    $450 is way too high....I just bought Northstars for $290 each and I believe they’re better than Odysseys...

    Well I don't think it's broken as it's straight. I still can't wear my gloves on that hand or touch it but nothing a doctor will do lol
    Glad I'm headed home my AC isn't blowing cold no idea why one thing after another I swear.. with how much I'm spending on maintenance right now I could be making payments on a brand new truck....

    They may not have been quite that much.... I know I spent $2k or close to it after taxes and everything. And I bought them in Texas, so high sales tax.
