“Is there anything I can do to help a jammed finger heal?”
I jammed my pinky finger in my car door yesterday and now it's red and swollen. I can still move it, so I don't think it's broken. What should I do to help it heal?

Ice, nsaids and range of motion exercise
You definitely need to have an x-ray. Even though you can move it it could still be broken.
Ibuprofen 600 mg (3 over-the-counter tabs) 3 times a day with a meal for 7 days, ice frequently until not sore, work on range of motion.
