Content: Not too tight - allow for swelling. Check the temp, sensation and color of your finger tip to make sure it is not too tight.) As far as splinting, I found that it was more trouble than helpful, as it would bump things and cause more pain. Elevate your hand higher than your heart to stop the throbbing. If you don't have a fracture you can start some gently motion as the swelling goes down. A contrast bath (alternating cold and warm water) is a nice way to do this. Good luck. share
