Ugh.
I broke a finger playing volleyball in March. Shit takes forever to get right again. I'm still doing PT on it and I can only bend it to about 65% and if I accidentally hit it on something, it still hurts like hell. My doc explained that because the bones and all the moveable parts are all compacted in such a small space, it takes longer to get back to normal than a broken leg, where the swelling spreads out and the moving parts aren't so compacted.
That said, I'm not a professional athlete. And I'm also kind of a pussy. So take all that for what it's worth.
