i dislocated my finger playing football about a week ago and the doctor was able to pop it back into place. Although there is no pain, the pinky finger continues to be swollen. What should I do to bring down the swelling so I can use my finger normal? And can I continue playing sports even though its swollen?

I broke my left pinky playing basketball and needed surgery to have pins inserted. The pins have now been removed, but I still have swelling in the hand and especially in the fingers. I will be starting physical therapy on Wednesday. My surgeon whats me to start moving and bending my pinky and ring finger, but the swelling in the joints makes it both painful and difficult. What can I do for the swelling and will ice help at this point?
