When i was doing a deadlift at the gym while adding weights, my finger got smashed in between the bar. the fingernails have bruising on the side, and on the finger it has red dots. should i go to the doctors and get it checked out or ice it?

Ice it to prevent swelling. It would be prudent to see a doctor to rule out fracture.
