Didn’t watch the video, but fixing an already dislocated finger doesn’t hurt as much as you’d think.  It already hurts ALOT.

About a decade ago I fell down a flight of stairs and dislocated my right middle finger.  It was pointing 90 degrees off from where it normally points.  I put it back in place and the dislocation hurt so mich I didn’t notice any additional pain.

I never received medical attention for it, and I am pretty sure surgery is in my near future.  It always locked up after the injury, but it gets painfully stuck now.

Wait till you’re 60+…. All your finger injuries from the past cause your fingers and thumbs to lock up, ache, throb and generally become a nuisance… It’s pretty funny, a lot of 30 year olds talk of falling apart and/or 40 year olds…. Then you why old people are so weak, frozen and feeble….

My recommendation for everyone is to quit sports and take up social dancing and/or any other kind of non-dangerous Dancing…

It is a win, win, win hobby with no negatives. I kinda always wanted to do that but never got around it….

Now I am not healthy enough…. I’ve got frisbee, walking and swimming left in my bag….Wondering if I can be gentle enough to reclaim stretching and yoga but not today I’ll tell ya that.

Probably one of the biggest reasons I never started dancing was my hatred of most country music… I am a progressive rock lover and I’ll die a progressive rock lover…. Though I love many other types of music and even like Johnny cash, John Denver and probably others related to country music….

Though single or with a girl, look into dance to keep moving, appreciate music, be social, etc….

Ii have one of those I did it in my twenties blocking a spike playing volleyball... finally had it xrayed in my 50s... two fractures and ossified ligament... I taped it up that night and woke up the next morning it looked similar... still cant straighten but never hurt very much... oh well.

The aftermath of mine was a trigger finger that was quite amusing to demonstrate to the squeamish, but over the last 6 months it has become less amusing because when it gets stuck it genuinely hurts to unstuck it.

At some point in the near future i will be demonstrating it to a surgeon I assume.

Yeah, I am within spitting distance of 60.  Very aware.

Take care of it now. I waited for years to get shoulder surgery. So dumb. within 6 months I was so much better. I am able sleep on either side with no pain LOL. Imagine recovery from finger is way quicker and less involved.
