Content: What Are the Symptoms? A jammed finger or broken joint will cause swelling, pain and weakness of the finger. Your knuckle will swell and it may take more than a few weeks to go away. Sometimes, depending on the severity of the sprain, swelling may persist, but the pain can be relieved soon and the ability to move the finger may improve quickly. How to Deal With a Jammed Finger
Take ibuprofen. Ibuprofen can effectively reduce swelling and pain in any part of the body, including a jammed finger or broken joint. Rule out broken bones. A jammed finger can result from broken bones or fractures. If you try moving your finger in every direction and you feel a sharp pain which prevents you from moving it, you may have a broken finger. Go to a doctor right away.
