I was hitting a volleyball very hard for a long time. my fingers were swollen afterward.would it shorten the length of my fingers if i constant do it?

NO: you will not "shorten" your fingers! You might speak with your coach about modifying your game to spread that force from your fingers to the hand itself and upper wrists! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
