I think my thumb got sprained and I'm not able to bend my thumb finger. All I did was keeping mehendi to my hands and kept the finger stiff to let it dry. After 1 hr or so, I felt pain and not able to bend my thumb finger. It is now seems to be swelled too. What can I do to ease the pain on bending and swelling?

I sprained my right thumb last wednesday while wrestling a friend. A couple hours after wrestling is when I noticed the pain. Thursday night both my wrist and elbow got inflamed. After binding my thumb and wrist to keep it still the inflammation went away. I took it out of the restraint to check it a while ago and it still hurts, but not severe.
