I think i might have jammed my finger, should i see a doctor? i think i jammed my ring finger today in gym class. there is no swelling and its not crooked, it just hurts pretty bad when i write, type and text.

I : I would ice the finger and take Motrin or advil (ibuprofen) to help prevent swelling. If the pain does not subside in a day then have the finger examined, and if necessary x-ray'd. Even though it may not be broken, you could have sustained ligament damage.

I : I agree. You likely just jammed to joint. Swelling from a jammed finger can take up to 12 weeks to improve. If there is persistent pain (your original message was from last week), you should see your doctor. An x-ray might be in order. Hope your finger is feeling better.
