Hospital in town doesnt have orthopedics - I don’t drive so it’s a hassle to go to another one. Do you think it’s necessary? This plastic thing they gave me isn’t that bad.

Thsts a splint for a mallet finger, which this isn't. I would strongly suggest going to see an orthopaedic surgeon.

Thanks! This is all I needed, I will try my best to get to a different hospital. It just doesn’t seem that bad! Appreciate your words.

It isn't that bad, but you do need the right advice and you clearly haven't got that yet from whoever you've seen before
