I jammed my finger the other day playing basketball

Question

Okay so I was trying to get a rebound but it landed on my middle finger lol. Then it hurt and went away. About an hour later it came back and it kinda hurt to bend it and the knuckle was a little swollen so I wrapped it with tape. I took the tape off this morning and it still hurts to bend it and its still a little swollen. What can I do to make it go away? I have a bball game tomorrow?

Answer 1

after breaking or dislocating eight out of ten fingers, I can speak from experience...splint it up, take some Advil and hope for the best...

Answer 2

Answer 4

Hey, No Doubt ♥

Just tell your coach about it. Tell him not to play you. Because it will be way worse. I tried to play with a jammed finger in a game and it didn't work out so well lol.... But if you can play, then play.
