Hi I was play fighting with my brother and I pushed him to the floor and my finger got caught underneath his t-shirt as he went over, its swollen and bruised and hurts quite a lot, when it happened at first I could move/bend the finger easily but its been quite a few hours now and the swelling is preventing me from moving/bending the finger. I have no idea what to do and the pain is seeming to get worse...
Hello, There can be either ligament strain or a bony injury. I shall advise you to consult to your doctor and at least have an X-ray of hand. Till then, you should do following:-Avoid straining your finger.-Use a buddy splint to give rest to your finger.-Take a mild analgesic like Advil. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
