See your orthopedic specialist.: If you have good circulation, you can probably elevated above your heart for 24 hours. However if the fingers turning blue and you're getting numbness and tingling i would recommend going to a local emergency room.

Crush injury: The symptoms suggest some neurologic injury as there are paresthesias, possibly from the swelling. This seriously calls for an physician's examination. Circulatory compromise is also a consideration.
