Did you injure your hand/finger? You should see a doctor for exam and treatment. In order to treat you, the physician will need to examine you to find out why you have pain/swelling. You can try icing it for 20 minutes at a time to see if this helps while waiting for your doctor’s appointment. Best of luck to you!

I agree with Dr. F's advice, but I favor your being examined & evaluated by a hand surgeon as this may be a stress fracture.
