swollen finger
i jammed my finger playing flag football about 2 weeks ago now. the swelling has gone down a lot and so has the major pain. however, it's still a bit swollen and it hurts a little (not super paintful though, and only when i bend it and stuff like that). how can i get it to go down? is it too late to put ice on it and stuff? and if i don't do anything about it, will it stay swollen like that forever? thanks so much in advance.

Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
I remember a skateboarding incident when I was ohhhhhhh 17? I jammed my thumb so hard it became a sausage. I mean the skin from the end of the nail to the first knuckle looked like a quarter pipe ramp. If its still swollen it is not too late for ice. It will go away. However I do still carry painful little reminders of various injuries, that thumb for example cant make a circle anymore, it just jerks back and forth. Whatever

Hi there,
Same thing happened to one of my fingers a few years back, different circumstances of course hehe.
I never put ice on it when i first hurt it and I continued to play sport. Now a few years later i'm still suffering.
I have tissue damage which sounds a lot like what you have. Unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do for it. If it hurts, strap it up to the finger next to it when you go to play sport to keep from damaging it further.
and Yes, it is a bit too late for ice...!
Hope I helped :)
