How do you unjam a finger?

Answer 1

Pull it until it "Pops!" For my jammed thumb, I found that grabbing it as deeply as possible with the other hand and pulling out and rotating towards the palm, gave immediate pain reduction & improved mobility. However, one still needs to protect it and reduce inflammation with ibuprofen and ice.

For fingers with swelling, judicious use of an elastic/constrictive bandage will help keep it to a minimum. If there is residual swelling after 48 hours, thumb (or finger) should be regularly & strongly massaged until it dissipates.

Answer 2

To unjam you're finger you should pull it for a while. You should hear a *POP*. Then put ice on it for a while. This will make a lot of the pain go away! =^)

Actually you cannot unjam your finger it is like a sprained wrist or ankle. It should be better in 2-4 days

Answer 3

Make sure you ice it for fifteen minutes, take a break for ten minutes, then do it again for another fifteen minutes. Wrap your finger and take the wrap off if you need to take a shower. HOPE I HELPED YOU!

Some people like to put some heat on it, others like cold, wrap it, or put a splint on it, but even with those the only way for it to heal is to just wait it out.

Answer 5

Answer 7

Ice and elevation may help reduce pain and swelling. It may also help to be immobilized by the use of a splint.
