Pain in finger - 2-1/2 mos after injury

Question

Asked for Female, 52 Years

I had my hand wrapped in my dogs leash and he took off and the leash must have been wrapped around my finger as it felt like I broke it, but I could bend it. The tip swelled right away and 10 weeks later it is still swollen and hurts as bad as it did the first day. I figured there wasn't anything they can do for a finger tip so I didn't go to the doctor but how long will it be swollen and hurt? The pain is radiating into my wrist and forearm at times......

â¢ Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
