I jammed my finger, how long will it take to heal without a support?

Depends: If broken bone 3-6wks. If just bruised 5-10 days. Simple elevation with a sling will reduce pain, throbbing and expediate healing.

4-6 weeks: Sprains take 4-6 weeks but most people are feeling a lot better in 2 weeks. If it is severely swollen, bruised or very painful then I would see an urgent care to get an x-ray.
