Answer 1

It might be a sprain. Watch out for what colors it turns. Put it in a splint, I think you can last without a doctor. Make sure to take IBprofin.

Answer 2

probably is sprain. See if it turns black and blue

Answer 3

Hi, its sounds painful thinking about it!

You more than likely have sprained it, a general rule is if you can move it, its not broken.

Apply the R.I.C.E.R. regime. This involves the application of (R) rest, (I) ice, (C) compression, (E) elevation and obtaining a (R) referral for appropriate medical treatment.

This should alleviate the pain and swelling and hopeful help heal the finger.

Good Luck!

put it in a splint and apply ice for about 10 days. Take Tylenol or Motrin to dull the pain. Make sure to take motrin after a meal.
