Anyone Ever Have a Finger Turn Purple?

[melagras]

I'm perplexed. I was doing cardio yesterday and I noticed my index finger on my left hand felt tight and eventually it turned purple on both sides. I was doing sumo squats where you touch the floor on the downside and reach in the air at the top of the move when I noticed my finger.

Anyone ever have this happen?

You broke a blood vessel, I've done it many times with heavy lifting. It will be fine in a day or two. Icing helps.

This happens to me a quite often too. I have done this during cardio and I have no idea how I did it. As fitnessfreak said it is a broken blood vessel and it will heal in a couple of days.

Yup, I did it once trying to start our lawn mower. LOL. Scared the heck outta me until I figured out what it was! Mine went away within hours...

I had that when I broke my finger. I did a jumping jack of all things and jammed it on my shoe. I'm crazy-awesome like that.

Broken blood vessel. I get those all the time in my fingers and toes. My last ones happened when I jumped a little too high, and my finger hit the ceiling fan; and I took off my shoes after a workout last week and I had one above the fourth toe. Weird!
