Nerve stretch: You may have stretched or bruised the nerve. Massage, warm soaks can help. If no change, see a hand surgeon.

Swelling: This sounds like swelling above the initial site of the injury. This could be from a number of conditions. Try some nsaids and if this does not improve the condition talk to your local provider.
