Suggest Treatment For Purple Discoloration In Finger Due To An Injury
My husband smashed his pinky finger today at work about 14 hours ago. He just told me what happened. about 30 mins or so after smashing his finger he got a pain in the back of his neck. he stated that he does not have anpain in the back of his neck now, but about 1/2 of his finger is purple. He has a blood clot in his leg and is on coumadin. he has had the blood clot for about 7 years now. his blood pressure is 127/76 pulse is 95.

Hi,
Purple discoloration after the increase simply means there is blood deposit in your finger. Do you have any X-rays of it? As it might be a fracture or a soft tissue injury which should be confirmed. If not then please get the X-ray done, apply ice pack and this discoloration may takes 15 days to go off.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
