What is the best solution for a jammed finger?

The only way to have it heal completely is to rest it, but that won't happen yet since you're active.  To protect your finger, tape it up when you're playing.  I think a split would hinder your play.\n\nWhen you're not playing, keep it splinted.  You can take anti-inflammatory medicines like Advil.  You could also ice your finger to prevent further swelling.  This therapy is better than none.

I hate to tell you this, but probably not.  I have the same problem.  Are you a lefty?  My middle finger swells up the next day.  It has been 5 months and still have pain, not as much, but it is still there.

It sounds like you have a strain, with some minor inflamation, which is putting pressure on the nerve.\n\nAcupuncture is especially effective in this type of situation. If you don't want to seek outside care, you\ncould try acupressure and massage, at home.  \n\nOf course, if there is still swelling you should ice your hand.  Whether there's swelling or not, soaking your hand in warm water and epsom salts will help.  Especially in conjunction with massage afterward. Massage up the tendon line from the affected finger tip.  And, do make sure to include the wrist and forearm if you feel that the stress-line runs up into your arm.  Good luck!\n\nGood luck!

RICE Treatment.\nRest:\nThe first 24-48 hours after the injury is considered a critical treatment period and activities need to be curtailed. Gradually use the injured extremity as much as tolerated, by try to avoid any activities that cause pain. Often using a splint or slings is necessary to adequately rest the injured body part. \nIce:\nFor the first 48 hours post-injury, ice the sprain or strain 20 minutes at a time every 3-4 hours. The ice pack can be a bag of frozen vegetables (peas or corn), allowing you to be able to re-use the bag and it mould to your body.Alternatively, wrap ice in a clothing, place it on the affected area.\nCaution: Do NOT ice a sprain for more than 20 minutes at a time! You will not be helping heal the injury any faster, and you can cause damage to the tissues!\nCompression:\nUse compression when elevating sprain in early treatment. Using a crepe bandage, wrap the area overlapping the elastic wrap by one-half of the width of the wrap. The wrap should be snug, but not cutting off circulation to the extremity.If your fingers or toes become cold, blue, or tingle, re-wrap.It means it too tight.\nElevate:\nKeep your sprain higher than your heart if possible. Elevate at night by placing pillows under your shoulder. \n\nThis method works by constricting the flow of blood to the affected area. As blood circulation can take away the thing that repair the sprain.\nGet Well Soon :)

If the bleeding has stopped, you are probably safe to let it wait. Change the bandage twice a day and if you see any signs of infection, such as unusual color, swelling, darkness in the tissues, etc. then see a Dr. as soon as you can.\n\nFinger Injuries Treatment\nSelf-Care at Home\nControl bleeding by direct, continuous pressure for at least several minutes. Elevate the hand above the level of the heart to help slow the bleeding. \nFind torn or missing finger tissue and save it for reattachment, if possible.\nGently rinse it off with water if it is very dirty, and place it in a sealed plastic bag. \nPlace the bag on ice water and bring it with you to the hospital. \nCover the wound with a clean, dry bandage. \nRemove loose dirt or foreign bodies.\nDo not try to remove objects that are deeply or firmly embedded. \nRun your hand under plain tap water for several minutes, scrubbing gently with a washcloth if needed to remove dirt. \nDry and then apply an antibacterial ointment. \nIf the finger is obviously deformed, immobilize it with a splint in whatever position is least painful.\nAlmost any small rigid item such as a popsicle stick, a pen, or a piece of cardboard can be tied or taped to the finger as a splint. \nA finger can also be buddy-taped—that is, taped to the finger next to it.

wear a good wrist brace, avoid using the hand and take ibuprofen.

It's an infection. I had something similar 2 years ago. Have your doctor check it and get some antibiotics. Also soak your finger 3 times a day for 15 minutes each time.

If you can't really move it, make an anatomical splint for it. (Tape it to the finger next to it) And keep icing it. I would go to the doctor also.

To get rid of Toe Jam..try washing your feet.  For foot odor, try washing your feet and use medicated foot powder.  You can also spray your shoes with lysol and put medicated foot powder in them.

It's possible that it's more than just jammed - you may have sublexed it and damaged some tendons and/or muscles.  Wouldn't hurt to see a sports trainer at your school or an orthopedic doctor to make sure nothing is serious.  In the meantime, RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) to manage the swelling and the pain.

sometimes they don't see the fracture. espeicily if oyu moved onthe xray.\n but splint is usually the cure for either. if its not to otu of line\nif it gets really bad or hurts too much go back.. or maybe go somewhere else.\nunfortunately after 24 houts if there is a big problem it might need to be rebroke. if you can go to an orhtopedist for follow up and tellyou how to rehab it ,that would be a good idea.\n\nor read sites below.\n\nFinger Injuries - Finger Fractures\nLearn about finger fractures, also called broken fingers.

Simple curls with dumbbels and a curl bar.\n\nAlso, try doing curls with your pinky finger turned inward and higher than your other fingers, this seems to help a good bit.

Really, it depends on the stage of your condition.  This condition can be described in six stages, delineated by number.  Stage one refers to a finger that has normal movement.  There may be tenderness in the area of the metacarpal heads or at the base of the thumb.  In stage two, finger movement is defined as uneven, although there is not yet triggering.  The characteristic triggering occurs in stage three.  A stage four trigger finger actually locks upon extension (or flexion) but can be unlocked by actively moving the finger into further extension (or flexion).  By stage five, the finger must be passively extended (or flexed) in order to unlock it.  A finger that can no longer be unlocked, either actively or passively, is considered to be in stage six.  Pain may or may not accompany each of these stages.\n\nWhat is happening is that the tendon of the finger is inflamed and is trying to squeeze through a small opening that it cannot fit through.  You can probably feel a knot in the tendon.\n\nAnyway, to answer your question, there are several options to treatment besides surgery.  It is recommended to try conservative treatment first.  Splinting, corticosteroid injections, and something called iontophoresis (infusing the area with an anti-inflammatory drug via electrical stimulation) are the main options.  \n\nIn general, if symptoms have been present for greater than 6 months, success of splinting and injection are significantly decreased.  In this circumstance, surgery may be the only effective route to take.  If the trigger finger is in stage six, splinting and injection are not likely to be effective.  In this case, surgery is the primary form of treatment employed.\n\nI hope this helps.  An occupational therapist can provide a splint for you if you are in the beginning stages.  Iontophoresis is also done by occupational therapists and is painless.  A physician can tell you about corticosteroid injections.  It may, of course recur, but it may after surgery as well...  Good luck!

Fingers are tough because you are constantly using them.  Try aleve,  or generic Naproxin Sodium,  pretty good pain killer,  Also try Active On,  from the makers of Head On,  apply directly where it hurts.
