What is the best solution for a jammed finger?
Q. I play basketball a lot and I jammed my finger about 3 years ago. I thought it would heal itself but it is still swoll in the middle. I pull it all the time but it doesn't do anything. Should I splint it because I'm still actively playing and I dont feel like playing with a slint on my finger. Is there any other solution?

A. The only way to have it heal completely is to rest it, but that won't happen yet since you're active. To protect your finger, tape it up when you're playing. I think a split would hinder your play. When you're not playing, keep it splinted. You can take anti-inflammatory medicines like Advil. You could also ice your finger to prevent further swelling. This therapy is better than none.

How long does it take for a jammed finger to heal?
Q. About three months ago, I jammed a finger by trying to catch a bouncing spare-tire and it still hurts. Plus, it is easily reinjured. I can really feel it when "barring" strings on my guitar.

A. Im not sure but its does take a long time. I jammed my finger when a kid playing basketball and it was literally blue and stayed that way for a while. You would swear it was broken

What's the difference between a jammed finger and having a hairline fractue?
Q. I jammed? my finger today swimming, and it's been incredibly painful. More so than any time I've jammed my finger. I can't straighten it or bend it without pain, and it's gone slightly purple on the side. I also can't put pressure on the finger (i'm typing without using that finger). I want to go get it checked out tomorrow, but I want to make sure i'm not over-reacting first. What do you guys think?

A. Fractures in fingers and toes are had to diagnose because the bones are small, and swelling may be hiding the full extent of the problem. I'd give it a day or two, and see if it improves.

What can I do for a jammed finger that never healed right?
Q. I jammed my finger a few months ago, it hasn't healed right, its crooked and the knuckle is swollen and it still hurts to bend it fully. I tried to splint it with taping it to the next finger when it happened but i was not able to do that while I was at work. Is there anything I can do for it without seeing a Dr. I don't have insurance at the moment.

How can I help my jammed finger?
Q. I play a lot of sports and I jammed my finger yesterday playing basketball. It is still pretty swollen and purple. What can I do to help it?
Asked by omegagirl101 - Mon Mar 9 17:07:55 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. First of all, put a bunch of ice cubes in a bag and hold the bag against your finger for awhile. Second of all, I'd strongly reccommend putting it in a splint (you don't even have to go to a doctor to get one, I'm pretty sure you can buy one) just to keep the finger in place and hold it straight. You may think that its no big deal, but if you don't tape up your finger or use a splint your finger could permanently become a little crooked or swollen.

How to heal a swollen/jammed finger?
Q. Today in basketball practice i jammed my finger and it is a little swollen. How can i heal it and do you think it wont be sore by tomorrow or thursday?
Asked by arules235 - Tue Dec 2 22:35:42 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It's likely to be sore for a week. You've probably torn some of your muscle and ruptured a few vessels. Put ice on it and try not to move it too much. I doubt it'll heal completely by thursday, but the swelling should be down by then (it'll still hurt to bend it and it probably won't bend very far).

What should I do about a jammed finger?
Q. Okay, so today at football, I caught a pass & I think my left hand's middle finger took most of the impact, and now, I think it's jammed. It's been roughly 2-3 hours, & I've applied ice to it already. I keep on trying to pull it, as hard as I can(I am afraid of dislocating it though), but I hear like a little crack sometimes. What can I do about this? My part of the finger, where it connects with my hand is really swollen. What do you suggest I do? Please help!

A. No, no, no, that is a very bad idea. keeping a finger or any injured part in gerneral on ice too long can produce frostbite and that is an even worse thing than a finger jammed. i suggest you ice it but for a short amount of time. like 10-15 mins.3 times a day. just dont ice it too long. Hope this helps.

A. If you can still move it, the chances of it being broken are very slim. so just simply take medical tape and tape it to the finger beside it. ice it whenever you get the chance, it will help. just keep it moving, not a lot but dont not move it, it makes it worse.. if you dont move it you lose it, atleast thats what my doctor said once .

A. "RICE" is a very effective therapy. I've used it many times with great success in minimizing the amount of time to heal. R=Rest (Don't use the finger) I=Ice (Cold ice for 20-30m (as tolerated) every 2-4 hours) C=Compression (wrap the finger in a compressive sock or bandage; but make sure not to wrap it too tightly and cut all circulation. You can check this by pressing on the nail bed and pushing the blood out, then release and watch to see how long it takes to return. If capillary refill is 2 or 3 seconds, it is fine; but if it is longer or the finger starts to turn darker, release the dressing.

A. taping them together for a few days is a good idea, apply ice for twenty minutes (no longer) every couple of hours, take Ibuprofen for the antiinflammatory benefits, and keep your hand elevated above your heart as much as you can. After three or four days try taking the tape off and gently flexing the fingers, if there is still great pain with movement, time to see a doctor for an xray.
