ICE....every hour for 15-20 minutes and gentle range of motion to keep it from getting too stiff. When the swelling goes down in a few days you can use some putty to squeeze gently at first.

Jammed Finger
Gregory Bouer
I tore what I believe to be my collateral ligament on my ring finger. My main concern is the finger returning to its normal size so that I may wear my wedding ring again. The injury occurred in September. My physician informed me that it could take some time. I had a jammed finger before with healing usually occurring in about six to nine months. Though, I am not sure if I ever tore a ligament before. Any advice
