Jammed Finger

(7 discussions)

I jammed my finger while playing basketball two days ago it did’nt swell up much until the other day. The whole finger is swollen and its bluish purplish behind the knuckle. I can bend it some but it is still painful. Is there anything I can do to help it?

    You may need to get it xrayed to rule out a fracture. Keep ice on it 2 to 3 times per day for 15 minutes. To make it more comfortable during the day, tape it to an adjacent finger with some 1/2 in. cloth tape.

    I HURT my finger (jammed) while somebody was trying to tickle me. I asked them to stop but they turned over on their back and fell on top of me. So I put my hands up to stop them but it pushed my middle finger backwards. That was yesterday but it is still hurting! Its not swollen or anything. But it hurts to do things like help my self up off the floor. Some people told me to pop it and some say to put it in ice. What should I do?

    I am not sure how I hurt my finger, but I have noticed that for several weeks now, my index finger is swollen above the knuckle. It hurst (some) when I bend the knuckle. It is worse when I first wake up in the mornings. The swollen area is painful when I press up on the skin. It is not discolored. Am I keeping it from getting well by using it normally or should I put some kind of restrait on it?

      I am having the exact same problem and I don’t know why the soreness persists, especially when I first wake up. I don’t know if this question was ever addressed but I am not seeing any resolution on the web.
