Question:
Answers:
If it has been more than an hour since you has the injurie, you need to be checked to see if there is a fracture.
If not, take some pain reliever and wait.
well first off, if you are able to type then it cant hurt that bad, but if it really does then you could put it on icebut it will still hurt, you just have to bare with it. you could also go to the doctor and they can look it over just to make sure you didnt break it, but you will just have to deal with the pain or take tylenol or somthing like that to releave the pain
you should put ice on it for 20 minutes,,remove it and wait for short time and re apply ice. keeping your hand elevated above your heart on a pillow will relieve some of the pain,,nurse
My sister smashed hers in the car door a few weeks ago and the pharmacist said the best pain relief was Motrin.
Soak in ice. Take some Motrin. Elevate hand
- Ice it until it's numb. (I know, already been said.)
- Keep it elevated (also been said, but not the reason): Because the more blood flows into it, the "heavier" it gets.
- This has not been said yet and it's kind of, shall we say, alternative: Pinch/ hurt another part of your body really hard. Reason: Your body can only "focus" on one pain at a time. If you hurt another part of your body, and it's more painful than your finger, your body will "forget" the pain in your finger. Of course -- and unfortunately -- you can only do this for short amounts of time, but you can do it periodically.
- Otherwise, pain killers of course always work.
- Last resort: try to fall asleep (with sleeping pills or valium if you must). In sleep, there is no pain .
Good night ...
U should check for broken bones. if nothing is broken take an over the counter anti inflmatory and put some ice on it. that should help some.
join the military , quit wining about your finger and help our GREAT country
ouch i did the same thing except in a car trunk. just ice it if it starts to swell up, check for broken bones, and try not to mess with it that much.
