Alright, I don't know what's up, but I've been having a little pain in my right hand lately. If you look at my hand top down, all looks well except my pointer finger. It's 'bent'... and more than that, from the middle knuckle onwards towards the tip of my finger, ie, the rest of it, is literally 'rotated' about 10 degrees. Anybody else have this? Sometimes it feels hurt, like it needs to be broken, and set back straight again.

I have no idea what's up with it.

Go see a doctor.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.

My index fingers on both hands are like that. Never had any pain though.

But if it hurts, you should probably see a doctor. If you get insurance through your school, no reason not to really.

How about a picture? It is typical for the tip of the finger to be rotated as much as 20-30 degrees, usually toward the outside of the hand (away from the thumb). But if you're having pain in the finger, there may be something else going on.

i'd stop drinking and smoking weed, with your senses dulled you don't realize what sort of damage done to your body till after the fact.

I GOT WASTED WITH PHIL SHERRY!!!

I didn't damage it. It's been this way for a while.

The converse of that is that if you don't drink and smoke then you'll be aware of the damage you're doing to your body.

I smoke pot like once every 3-4 months, if that. I drink about every other weekend.
