I sprained my middle finger, what should I do?

Question

Well I think I sprained my middle finger, I forgot to stretch before doing exercises, how long should I rest it for? If my middle finger is out straight horizontally, I can't press it down on a surface without it hurting, but gripping is just fine. Is there something I could do to fix it or do I just have to wait?

Answer 1

You can soak it in warm water and open/close it gently, a couple of times a day. Otherwise, it just takes time. Be sure not to strain it in any way while healing. Hope it feels better soon.
