How to Get Rid of Swelling in Fingers

[@trishalee3198]

I was trying to explain to somebody today, how to wrap one's finger after watching your video a couple months ago. So happy I found this video again. It helped heal my middle finger that was swollen a couple months ago. Now I wrap my index and middle finger on the right side to ease pressure of clicking and scrolling with my fingers (Raynaud's) that get sensitive and numb at the tips of the fingers.

[@panspermiahunter7597]

Thank you, I was given some of this by the hospital today and it is good to see exactly how to apply it.

If it’s swollen just from like a small cut or infection, continuously dip it in HOT water for a few times. Don’t scald yourself, just quick dips.

doesnt heat cause more swelling??

[@ThundermansThunder]

I know this video has some age on it, but I do hope that you are still willing to give advice. Six weeks ago, I tripped over a parking block when walking around my van and fell onto my fingers severely cutting my index and ring fingers and and nearly severed the fingertip from the bone right across the cuticle nail bed of my middle finger. Who knew asphalt could THAT just from a little tumble?! Thankfully, the surgeon was able to stitch me up and straighten the bone fracture in my middle finger and even stitched my fingernail back into place, so though there is still some numbness, my fingers are all still there, thank you, God! All the stitches are now out, and I have gotten a good report with every follow up doctor's visit, but I have a lot of fluid swelling in the pads. I have been using coban for the past three or so weeks as well as using elevation, gentle rubbing, and even the occasional ice pack, but the fluid is still there. They go down quite a bit while wearing the coban, but it quickly returns within minutes of removing it. I still have two weeks before I see the PA again, and I am wondering how long this swelling typically lasts for such an injury? Is there anything more, less, or different that I should be doing? Any words of assurance will be comforting and very much appreciated!

[@livid4387]

Hi. I am not a doctor, but from personal experience with cutting the tip of my pinky finger off a little over a month ago, my finger still has some swelling. The Coban does work, also ice and an NSAID like Ibuprofen or Naproxen, or if they gave you any prescription like Celebrex or Toradol. I go back next in another couple of weeks. Depending on the swelling, you may need to ask the provider if you need an antibiotic. Hope you get better fast

[@ThundermansThunder]

@@livid4387 Thank you, I appreciate your response. I am sorry to hear that you are going through this pain, too! Sounds like we are going through these painful experiences at roughly the same time. I had Frankenstein looking hands just in time for halloween , lol. (I sure wasn't laughing when it happened, though!) I have already gone through three rounds of antibiotics, and the doctors say that they look free of infection in spite of the swelling, so they wanted to hold off on another round unless it starts to show sign of infection, God forbid. I do have a prescription strength nsaid, but it does a number on my stomach, so I have to use it judiciously. I suppose I'll have to keep binding them with the coban and just wait it out for whatever time it takes unless someone knows of something else to try. I sure hope you are doing well with your finger and continue to do well in every way in the future, as well!

i had approximately 5 years ago hit my finger on a ball and since then my joint is swollen and thicker then normal.. the swelling never did go away and the thickening.. but i can fully move my finger and do not have pain (i can also extend my finger more then normal like hyperextension because of the injury i had).. is this situation normal?

[@lindawatts5102]

Thank you this made sense about lack of muscles in the fingers and no where for the swelling to go. Im having issues with the healing process with a mallet finger. I have strapped my little finger to the good finger overnight using the same type of dressing you display. It seems better overnight but the the swelling appears again as soon as a use my fingers there is also discolouration that I assume is bruising as it feels a little sore as a opposed to painful. Of course if i sit with my hand held above heart then the colour goes back to its normal skin tone. Difficult when you need to go to work and I am typing all day / driving and doing all other normal day today things. Looks like Im in for a long healing process. this all happend with a large dog hitting my fnger and had to wear a splint for 8 weeks. The first joint will not bend. I have been reffered back for a second x-ray by my doctor so await for the results.

[@kelebek2818]

Hi, how is your finger now? My injury is different to yours but I'm displaying similar symptoms. I fell down the stairs 11 weeks ago, ripping my pinky open. 6 stitches. When I got the stitches out, I wrapped it in coban wrap for weeks on end. My finger has healed in a straight position. At physio last week and was given exercises to do every hour. I can't bend the pip and dip joint very much. The swelling is bad and is stopping me from getting any further forward. It also turns blue as soon as I start physio on it. I hope you mended your finger well abd if so, how long did it take please?

My ring finger, middle and small fingers are sensitive on both my right and left hand so it makes picking up and touching items difficult.

I don't know when your surgery was or anything else, however any type of compression/wrap for a flap or graft needs to be approved by your doctor or hand therapist. Placing a wrap between joints will cause swelling above and below the area which is not recommended.

What also helped the swelling was something that my PT showed me how to do, which was to milk my fingers after warming my hand up. That really helped reduce the swelling. How you do it is your oil up your injured hand. Then wrap the index finger around whichever finger you are working on, put you thumb on the other side, ( basically creating a hole) and gently stroke down the finger towards the hand, while holding your hand and forearm in a vertical position. When you're done with that massage the webbing between the fingers at the base. I used black seed oil, which is anti-inflammatory. Good luck! You will get thru this! 👍

If you have just had surgery or an injury then yes you should elevate the swollen area as often as you can. A few minutes, every hour. There really is no general rule as far as how long you should elevate the finger. Just avoid leaving it hanging down far long periods of time. The best things for swollen fingers are compression like coban wrapping in this video, gentle exercises, elevation, and heat or ice (but this is dependent on why your finger is swollen).
