Finger pain
My finger was hit by a basketball and I felt immediate pain. It swelled up pretty fast, this happened about a week ago. I've buddy taped it and iced it, but it still hurts to bend. I can't touch my finger tip to the palm of my hand. I feel a pull when I try to bend it at the middle joint on my finger. Could this be mor serious than a jammed finger?

When did it happen, your finger needs to rest for atleast 2-3 weeks ...if you are bending and using it it's not getting the healing time If the pain and swelling is going down it's improving But if you are too much concerned it's better to visit orthopedic and rule out sprain or fracture
