Question

Answer 1

I'm sorry you broke your finger.  What a drag.

When I was recovering from a broken arm, my hand was very swollen.  The two most helpful things I learned to do were (1) Alternating soaks in hot and cold water, five minutes per side, 10 repetitions, three times a day, and (2) Massage from your fingertips up past your wrist...this moves the fluid which is causing the swelling up to the lymphatic system, where it will be removed from your body.

You also might want to get some physical therapy.

Hope you are back in shape very soon.

All the best.
