Fracture ring finger right hand have to wait for fracture clinic strapped but very painful anything i can do whilst waiting clinic next week

Buddy taping: Gently tape all three lateral fingers together. Put a little tissue between them. Fight to avoid delay getting a clear x-ray. The rare need for surgical correction should not be delayed. However, usually, a small splint is all that is needed.
