  1. Visit your friendly doctor.


  2. Rest your hand & use thermal compressive gloves to protect the injury & help cure it faster.

  3. Rest

    Ice

    Compression

    Elevation

    R.I.C.E.

  4. Ice it alot.

    Splint it to another finger if it hurts to bend. (Look at the internet but its just common sense on how to do it.)

    Honestly a doctor will not tell you much else. So unless you have good insurance don't waste a trip.

    That doesn't apply if you think that it is broken, i.e. you heard a crack or there is excessive pain.  

  5. ouchh.

    go see a doctorr

  6. Usually that kind of thing goes away as long as you don't use the finger for like 1-2 weeks.

    I had that happen plenty of times.

  7. go to the doctor - they'll give you a splint-y thingg or you can tape it (with like first aid tape thingg..) to a finger next to itt then just waitt

    feel better!

  8. Put ice on it right away, but don't keep it on for more than 15 minutes at  a time. And... well, maybe bandage it up to try and keep it out of the way.

    It should heal fairly quickly.

  9. Ice to numb it  and a splint and/or tape probably wouldn't be a bad idea either

  10. Keep moving it and run it under cold water at the same time.

  11. I would get an ice pack and try to move it as much as you can and ice your finger.
