What to do if you poke your finger while playing basketball

In life, many people particularly like to play basketball, because playing basketball can not only enhance people's team awareness, but also make many friends, and it also has a certain effect in physical exercise. However, sometimes it is easy to poke your fingers when shooting a basketball, which may cause a fracture of the finger. So what should you do if you poke your finger while playing basketball? Let me introduce to you

Generally speaking, when the hand is stabbed, only the fingers are injured, and the palm is fine. But it should be noted that it is better to be careful when playing. The solution to a pricked finger is as follows:

First: If the fingers can still move slightly, then the bones and joints should not be seriously injured. It is recommended to soak them in cold water (or apply cold compress) within two hours, and then apply hot compress after four hours. During the recovery period, the fingers will swell slightly and affect movement. At this time, do not forcibly straighten or bend your fingers to avoid aggravating the symptoms.

Second: Not playing basketball for a short period of time can speed up your recovery. If conditions permit, you can use ice to cool you down. If you can't find ice for a while, find a tap and flush your face with water for a while. When you feel better, go back and find some medicine to apply, safflower oil or Yunnan Baiyao will do. If you have finger guards, try to wear them. They can play a certain role in fixing and protecting your fingers, allowing them to recover better.

1. Apply cold compress for 12 hours after injury and hot compress for 24 hours after injury. Combine external and internal medications such as plaster (external), anti-edema and analgesic tablets (external), safflower oil (external), Panax notoginseng tablets (internal). These are all necessary things.

2. Pay attention to doing some gentle finger exercises during the recovery period. Do not cut your fingers violently if you want to play basketball again.

3 Now let's talk about the prevention before the game. You must pay attention to the preparation. It is simple and important, and everyone tends to overlook it.
