Hi, My left index finger was hit by Tennis ball while playing cricket on 26 may. I applied ice and pain relief spray but nothing worked. My finger is swelled and it is paining when doing any movement. What should I do??

Dear Sir, as everybody has suggested, you need a proper x ray of the finger, in both AP and Lat views, because only that will clarify your injury pattern, mean while use ice fomentation, move only if it allows movement with minimal pain, keep limb elevated and put a crepe 2 inch bandage on the limb, Revert back with X Rays
Next Steps
X Ray left Index finger- AP and Lat views, (digital magnified view)
