joints are meant to be bendy. if it's bending in a direction it couldn't before, it's a pretty good hint you need to go get it checked out. purple means bruising.
No, but a finger joint is part of your anatomy.
yes it is alot stronger than a finger joint as it is tightly compact pressed together(:
The finger joint (also known as a comb joint) is made by cutting a set of complementary rectangular cuts in two pieces of wood, which are then glued. To visualize a finger joint simply interlock the fingers of your hands at a ninety degree angle; hence the name "finger joint."
it is a hinge joint
is it safer to see a doctor on the subjet. it sounds like it may be broken.
The answer, simply no. A joint's function is to move - if it were unable to, then it would not be a joint.
A joint in the finger
it might be resting on your hand or stressing your finger
Yes. i think so. broken things=doctor visits. i have lyme disease, and broke my finger about a year ago. it was extremly painful, what with the additional swelling of the joint. the bone grew back together a little strangely, and still causes problems for me (i broke it at the joint and now it is sort of bulged out and painful).
