Finger Sprain

A finger sprain occurs when the ligaments in the finger are stretched or torn. A fall, a direct blow to the finger, or a sudden twist or bend can cause a sprain. Pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty moving the finger are the symptoms noted. Treatment involves rest and the use of ice packs. Painkillers are used to manage pain, and in advanced cases, a splint or cast may be necessary to immobilize the finger while it heals.
