Content: Sometimes it never completely goes away. Pain and motion usually come back fairly quickly, depending on how severe the sprain is. Treating a Jammed Finger
Treating pain and swelling are the first steps of treating a jammed finger. As soon after injury as you can, use the R.I.C.E. Principles to help reduce your pain and discomfort. Depending on how much pain, swelling, and loss of motion you have, you may need to see your physician. This is especially true if you took a pretty hard hit to the finger, or if it was bent backwards violently. You may have suffered a finger fracture and not just a sprain. It is sometimes hard to differentiate between the two, so an X-ray may be a good idea to be safe. Once a fracture is ruled out, you can begin working on improving your range of motion and strength. Use ice and rest for a few days, and then begin trying to bend and straighten the finger.
