You know if you sprained your finger when it is swollen,bruised,and you feel a tightness when you bend it!. Just take first aid bandage tape and wrap the ring finger and the middle finger together!.It should heal in maybe less than a week!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ice on and off, 20 minutes, for about an hour or more to reduce swelling!.
Take 2 Tylenol if it hurts!.
Gently bend the finger several times and massage the sore area!. It might help to use a bit of hand lotion to cut the friction!. (it will hurt less)!.
If it still hurts tomorrow, try a warm water soak for 10 minutes, then massage (as above)!. After that, use an ice pack or cold wrap for 10 minutes!. Repeat daily till it gets better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
