If you tape a jammed finger, it will affect your ability to grip the racquet firmly, which could lead to an even more serious injury if it does happen in the future.Some signs that you may have a more serious injury to your finger include:
The first method is for injuries to the base of the finger where the metacarpal (hand) bones join to the phalanges (finger bones).This is commonly performed by the athlete so as not to require time from the coach or trai.Temporarily splinting the finger for 1 to 2 days is okay.
Splinting will help stabilize and heal the joint — you can likely get finger splints or tape at a local pharmacy.Most jammed fingers heal within one to two weeks.
Ice helps prevent tissue damage and decreases swelling and pain.Buddy taping helps protect the jammed finger while also improving its range of motion by allowing it to be a buddy to an uninjured finger.Cover it with a towel.
Budding taping involves taping the injured finger and a neighboring finger together.This can cause ligaments to stretch, sprain, or tear.
Ice your finger or soak it in cold water for 15 minutes.Diagnosis of a jammed thumb may involve physical examinations and imaging tests to determine the extent of the injury.1 or 1.5 athletic stretch tape;
If you have severe pain and swelling, visit a healthcare provider.You can also place a piece of gauze between the fingers to reduce pressure.
Placing your finger in ice water works, too.

Arteta On New Arsenal Contract: 'It Will Happen'
Andy Murray said on Thursday that coming to terms with his impending retirement from tennis is "hard" and that he would ideally "play forever" were it not for the injuries he has suffered during his career.
The two-time Wimbledon champion said on June 27 that if was able to play at Wimbledon -- as he has did on Thursday -- then he would likely retire after the Paris Olympics.
Murray faced a race against time to be fit to play in his final tournament at the All England Club after undergoing a procedure to address a spinal cyst on June 22. He subsequently withdrew from his first-round singles match on Tuesday, but confirmed that he would play in the men's doubles.
However, the 37-year-old's Wimbledon farewell got off to a difficult start on Thursday as he was knocked out of the men's doubles in the first round alongside his older brother, Jamie, with a 7-6 (6), 6-4 loss to Australian pair Rinky Hijikata and John Peers.
Speaking after the match, Murray discussed coming to terms with the end of his playing career.
"I would love to keep playing, but I can't physically. It is too tough now. All of the injuries, they've added up. ... They haven't been insignificant. But yeah, I want to play forever," Murray told the BBC.
"I love the sport. It's given me so much, taught me loads of lessons over the years that I can use for the rest of my life. But yeah, I don't want to stop, so it is hard."
Murray also hinted that he might be interested in taking up coaching in his post-playing career.
Asked if he was a good tennis watcher, Murray said: "It depends who I'm watching. I hate watching my brother. I find it really difficult to watch my brother play. But yeah, I love tennis. I watch it all the time. I'd probably be more comfortable sitting up there in a coaching box than somewhere else."
Murray is due to take to the court again this week after Wimbledon organisers announced on Wednesday that he had entered the mixed doubles draw alongside fellow Brit Emma Raducanu after the pair were given a wild-card entry. The mixed doubles competition begins on Friday.
