If you return too soon you may worsen your injury, which could lead to permanent damage. Everyone recovers from injury at a different rate. Return to your activity will be determined by how soon your finger recovers, not by how many days or weeks it has been since your injury occurred. In general, the longer you have symptoms before you start treatment, the longer it will take to get better.

Your doctor will recommend that your sprained finger be splinted or "buddy taped" (taped to the finger next to it) for 1 to 4 weeks after your injury. In many cases, you will be able to return to your activities as long as you are wearing your splint or have your finger taped.

Your finger may remain swollen with decreased range of motion and strength for many weeks. It is important to continue your rehabilitation exercises during this time and even after you return to your sport.

How do you clip a baby's nails?

Video: How do you clip a baby's nails?Clipping Baby NailsClipping baby nails is similar to clipping an adult's, except that you should gently apply pressure to the end of the finger to pull the tip back from the nail a bit to avoid accidentally cutting the finger. Keep a firm hold on the baby's hand and cut fingernails along the curve of the finger. Toenails should be cut straight across. Use an emery board to smooth out rough edges. The best time to clip your baby's nails is when your baby is asleep to avoid the baby wiggling and perhaps causing you to cut a finger. Be sure to have ample light and use a pair of clippers or scissors made especially for the purpose of trimming baby nails.
