Exercise: First.See your primary care provider to be sure of the proper diagnosis. Then be sure to take prescription exactly as prescribed. Stretching exercises often help injuries that are not fractures.

See a doctor: You self treatment of your index finger can lead to problems in the future if you have a fracture into the joint. See a hand surgeon for x-rays and treatment first.
