My things is whacking fingers with hammers, the trick is to relax in general and do a focused relaxation on the effected finger!. With practice it is possible to turn the swelling response off!. Since your has probable already swollen command the swelling to drain away while doing the focused relaxation of the surrounding tissue!. The worst thing to do is to remain tense and hinder circulation!. 3days to a week for the problem to clear up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

P-protection (a splint or some kind of brace)
R-rest (take it easy, don't move it around too much)
I-ice (20 mins on, 20 mins off for the first 24-48 hours)
C-compression (put pressure on it to reduce swelling)
E-elevation (above the heart)
and some thing with an anti-inflammatory
