Husband (43M) broke finger while on Vacation. No insurance. Advice?
Hello!
My husband and I were in Mexico for a week. He was throwing around a football with friends and his finger got hit the wrong way. This happened on May 5th.
Went to urgent care when we returned and they did an X-ray showing the fracture. They wrapped it up tightly and told him to go see a hand specialist.
My husband is a realtor and is currently between insurances and was picking a new plan. He currently does not have any insurance.
Do you think this will require surgery? We are hoping it will heal on its own with immobilization but obviously don’t want to risk anything.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
EDIT: Thanks for all the advice! Have appointment with an Orthopedic Hand Surgeon tomorrow (5/13) who will see him for $250. I can update and show more images of the X-rays they take if anyone is interested to see?
Thankfully he’s not in much pain and mostly upset about golfing this summer!
