So short story even shorter, I sprained my right ring finger at work yesterday, and I currently have a bit of a sausage for a finger. Other than the obvious (ice, raising it, ibuprofen gel etc), has anyone got any advice on dealing with it? |

Strap it to the finger next to it.
If it feels hot its broken so got to hospital incase it needs resetting.
If not.... 48 hrs should settle it |

"What the two above said, it's what A&E would do, don't waste their time if you don't have to. not bananas bloke advice"
Even if it is fractured unless causing significant injury or cutting off blood supply they will only tape it to next finger and give painkillers. Don't expect to use it for a couple of weeks. |

"Put tomato sauce on it
Seriously? Come on! Mustard first!
Mustard? Yeah get to A+E and ask them to check that out as well.
How did you do this injury btw? "
Went to stop a roll of fabric falling on the floor at work, and ended up just catching the end of my finger, which bent it back and wrenched my finger and tendons. I have mild dupuytrens in my hands (shortened tendons on the lesser two fingers of the hand), so my tendons aren't the best to start with |

There was a bit of profanity, and me booting stuff at work for about a minute, so you could say that |

Be ironic if you broke your toe getting ratty. |
