How can you tell if your finger is jammed?
Almost all of us have experienced the pain and swelling of a jammed finger, whether it was caught in a car door or slammed by a falling lid. There are a number of ways to treat a jammed finger yourself, although few self-treatments can replace the skilled attention of a medical professional. A finger that is not too seriously injured can be immobilized with a splint, and analgesics and anti-inflammatories can be used to reduce the pain and swelling. When in doubt, you should contact your health care professional to be sure you properly treat your injury.Before treating a jammed finger, you should first assess the damage. An obvious deformation, immediate bruising, or complete loss of mobility could be signs of a serious fracture or dislocation. Only a trained medical professional should treat a jammed finger which displays the characteristics of a broken bone or damaged circulatory system. If the injury is severe, use an arm sling to immobilize the hand and go immediately to an emergency room for treatment. Hope you liked and this really helped!
I dislocated my finger 4 weeks ago but it is still swollen how can I reduce the swelling?

My son hurt his finger playing basketball. It has been swollen for two days and is bruised. How long should it take for finger swelling to go down?
Answer 1: ZonkaThe finger should be iced. Taping (compression can also assist with swelling). The only way to tell if a finger is sprained or broken is with a xray. The swelling should ideally go down in about 7 days.Answer 2: Marklikespb2I Hurt Mine Too With It. But As Long As Its Safe, It Will Be Cured By Nothing. All U Have 2 Do Is To Like...
