If you’ve ever been curious about how far high of a decibel meter your voice can reach, accidentally jamming your fingers would be the perfect opportunity for that. Whether you (or someone else) have accidentally shut a door, fridge or drawer with your fingers wedged, the excruciating and lasting pain is one and the same. Medically accepted care. I considered clinical research and recommendations from medical professionals and authorities like the Arthritis Foundation.C – Compression – When you apply compression to the affected finger, the pressure will further reduce swelling and it will also provide additional support. You can use an elastic compression bandage around the finger – just be careful to not wrap or wind it too tightly. You don’t want to cut off circulation to your finger. Another unfortunate and painful incident is when you sprain your fingers. You’re casually enjoying a game of basketball or volleyball and the wrong strike or catch can sprain your finger. When the force is too violent, this can result in torn tendons, broken bones and dislocations. In these instances, you should have your fingers and hand seen by a medical practitioner. There is no definitive answer to whether heat or cold is better, as both have their place in treating symptoms of arthritis and joint pain in general. R – Rest – Immediately stop all activities that will require pressure or excessive movement of the injured finger. Try not to carry or bear weight with the affected hand or finger.

Design and functionality. I sought products that are easy to use, especially for those with limited mobility due to arthritis. This means features like adjustable straps and washable covers, and products that are designed for use and fit on a variety of joints. P – Protect – Protect the injured area to avoid pain and further injury. Buddy tape the injured finger to an adjacent healthy (uninjured) finger. Then use a medical tape or any adhesive wrap to tape above and below the finger joint (do not tape the joint itself). For instance, if your middle finger is injured, tape it together with your uninjured forefinger. This helps the injured finger to have less movement in the joints, which will help with the healing process and pain relief. If the finger’s range of motion is drastically limited, please seek an evaluation from a hand surgeon. The joint’s limited motion may be a sign of something more severe like a partial dislocation or a fracture. The main concern when one jams their fingers is distinguishing whether it is merely a jammed finger or a fractured finger. Both conditions are quite painful, and their symptoms can be similar.Gunduz NE, et al. (2018). Is dry heat treatment (fluidotherapy) effective in improving hand function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis? A randomized controlled trial. E – Elevate – Try to hold your injured hand above the level of your heart. Use a pillow to prop up your hand. Gravity will encourage fluid drainage and reduce swelling.
