who else is here becuse they jammed their finger lol
KrisTheGoat me
Me😂
Mines is from basketball 🏀
Me my thumb
And it's from football or (soccer) if ur American I play in goal keeper
Quick summary:
1) Ice with ice gel pack or bowl of ice water for 15-20 mins to reduce initial pain swelling and inflammation (ice on and off if needed)
2) Stabilize finger with buddy splints (taping to another finger), popsicle stick, or metal splint (bendy metal makes it more comfortable)
3) After 3-6 days, test out your range of motion, use other hand to help bend finger until it's fine on its own
- Strengthen by squeezing balls or balloons with different levels of resistance
SIGNS OF. FRACTURING/GO SEE A DOC WHEN:
- Finger looks crooked or awkwardly bent after impact
- Finger still hurts to move after 3-6 days of treatment
- Squeezing on shafts of finger after splinting still hurts
- Or just if it hurts like crazy
Finger jams usually heal in around 1-2 weeks, go at your own pace and listen to your doctor (although most of the time, 4 weeks ain't necessary)

OMG THANKSSS
Thx bro
Thanks
That was probably one of the smoothest endings a video I have seen a long time. Great job gentlemen. Also thanks for the great information and tips!
this is a perfect example of holistic healthcare. you are both very funny and knowledgeable. i’m confident i will do art again if i follow the steps outlined in this video. thank you so much!
Everyone's like, aw yeah, sports, football, volleyball, fights.
I'm just like.. idk man I woke up like this 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh man 🤦
May be someone was slept on your finger 😂😂
What does it mean when your finger gets fatter because of a jammed finger?
that gotta be serious. go see a doctor asap.
Mukti Gupta it just means it’s swollen
My finger sprained but I didn’t tell coach so I could play
Same
Y’all are what I strive to be🙏🙏 my jump shot just gets snapped away when I sprain my thumb, index, and/or middle
Play what? Fortnite
a person thinking the same thing
Did the same but in Muay Thai.
I just love both of you … been to your channel every time I got issues with shoulder, ankle, hip, arm .. now it’s the finger time. Thank you so much 🙏
Super helpful. I sprained my finger doing self defense classes specifically punching. So your tips for strengthening are super appreciated once i can get the pain down
Lol! Same thing happened with me
I really appreciate all of your videos. So so helpful! Sprained my ankle about a month ago. I wish I knew about the ice bath! That would've really helped immediately afterwards. I still have tingling under my toes, going to foot Dr next Wednesday to discuss it. Not sure if I tore ligaments, as I'm still swollen in front of the ankle bone. Thanks for all you guys do!
Bob: *“Hey, Brad . Is my finger sprained? Or is it broke.”*
Brad: *“It’s broke. I don’t see any money in it.”*
You guys really are the best. I'm never disappointed when I come to your channel
You guys are amazing thank you so much for your kindness and knowledge
This is the video i always wanted thank u for the infomation
Hello from Germany. I'm a physiotherapist, we use modeling glay for the resistance. For mobilization you can put your fingers in bowl filled with seeds. 🤗
Thank you for all this . Respect from Canada
Always such an awesome show. Always great help. Thanks.
Great info! Wish I had it sooner, my daughter has broken two fingers and jammed/sprained one in the last several months.
ouch i hope it healed by now i broke my punky playing football
The pain of spraining a finger is pretty darn bad but bearable, I'm confident going into my rehab
Ya man, my finger got messed up, 3 days and still hurts bad. I have to miss practice because of all this.
It doesnt hurt that bad it hurts for a bit but now just the swelling hurts and its been a couple hours
it eventually heals..No matter how sprained or broken it is.
not nearly as bad when i get kicked in the nuts
@@conservativeamber1216 you sure?
This is really helpful my son just sprained his finger he didn't let me sleep all night but then i saw this video and i fallow the instructions and hes all better thank you guys
You guys are awesome, thanks for All of your videos they’re great.
Sprained my finger in volleyball yesterday. It hurt like hell. My second joint is almost black with bruising
@Jjturner10 *tHaT sHiT hUrDeD*
Same
Wait omg exactly the same?
oh reolli? Same but in basketball
Same with my pinky finger
Thanks for the suggestions.
Injured my finger yesterday while playing , tennis bal hit my finger tip. Currently Not able to move my finger and there is swelling too, bought a finger brace for support.
great tips guys. appreciate the vid. you guys are the best!
Bob and Brad are great, thanks again
Who is here because a basketball jammed their finger
Nah I was punching some steel for knuckle training and messed up the middle of my pinky
Thank you
Twice tonight on the same finger tonight during bball game.
We call it Jarred finger down here in Australia 😂
Thank you both so much a few days ago I was removing a small sofa out of my house and a day later I noticed my finger was sprained. I used to play lacrosse so my pain tolerance is pretty high I don't really notice any injury unless I see it. I do have another finger that's kind of curved a little bit but I'm still trying to wait to see an orthopedic are supposedly my primary doctor said that it's a fractured. That one other finger that I mention I used to have this really aggressive dog kept yanking the chain and I think that's how I got my fractured because right next to that finger is the finger that got severely injured it got cut open. The people I got that dog from really didn't tell me that that dog was extremely aggressive even though the dog was a German shepherd and I had German Shepherds a lot when I was growing up they are normally very calm and loyal
Thank you so much, the stress ball squeezing was very helpful!
Our guys are awesome to watch
My dog ran into my hand and jammed my finger and now I'm here :)
Thanks again Bob and Brad.
Your info will help me sleep better tonight.
Get smaller dogs
That's what happened to me lol
I injured my finger playing sports. It got bent backwards when a ball was thrown at me. My primary care doctor said that I had two small fractures from the x ray. She referred me to an orthopedic hand surgeon who took another x ray and said it looked fine and that the finger is sprained. He actually advised me not to wear my splint anymore and exercise it. Not to mention I spent $150 for him to tell me this. It's been 4 weeks and I still can't bend it well. It feels pretty tight like it's swollen, very painful to bend, and the joint looks out of place. I'm so lost =(
Mee too 😔
Hey man sorry that happened, but everyone in the comments felt the same struggle, but not the same pain. Hope you feel better 👍
get a splint.
Did your finger ever get back to 100%?
I love you guys y’all helped me with my thoracic outlet syndrome during the pandemic so. Thanks Guys ❤
You are very welcome!
Thank you for this video 😀
Think I have hurt my finger by simply holding my tablet watching CZcams videos! When finger on right hand got so sore, I switched hands and have started having similar pain in left finger! What do you suggest? I've tried heat, ice, squeeze ball and ben gay. Thanks, enjoy your videos very much, started watching after 4th back surgery last July.
haha the intro to this vid. lol love the content though
Malleable metal is the word you were looking for but, thanks for the info!
very helpful, thanks!
Dad jokes on max lmao. Good info tho
can you do one that includes specifically for the rcl of the thumb?
how long til it was healed, what did u do?
You guys are amazing
You guys are the best

Good advice & A+ theme song
God bless you for doing this
Basketball gang were you at
Now I know what to do if one of my brothers gets a finger-sprain in wrestling! Thanks Bob and Brad!
Man, I just love watching you guys. You clearly have worked together for a long time, and your kind easy-going attitude rubs off on me! Thank you, Bob and Brad, you're my two favorite physical therapists on the internet.
Happened to me at wrestling practice today
Thanks guys.
Fingers been sore for a while, just tried the balloon recovery method and it instantly begins to feel a lot better - i guess my finger muscles were a bit weak post-splint Thanks Guys!
I have a finger sprain I go in the hospital the nurse won't let me see the doctor because I don't have insurance and my finger still hurting and swelling she said that's a finger sprain just take some ibuprofen u b ok have a nice day smh money is evil on God
Lucky james trump isn’t gone help us either.
You're not going to die calm down.🤣
its illegal to reject medical care to someone uninsured. it would have been a good idea to have gone to urgent care or your primary physician, besides the hospital.
@@oveetee9294 his gone
I love how real you are, I can see both of your personalities XD
Thanks . You give me the assurance that my finger is not broken. Praise God
This really helped :)
My finger is sprained but I can still move it like normal. I’ve had this pain for weeks from the result of cracking my finger. How long will it take to heal?
Depends how severe it is
I have a right hand middle finger knuckle strain, how long does it take to fully heal and are there any exercise tips I should be doing to help it heal faster?
Has it healed yet
Answer him Albert
@@vorrbec6628 lol
It's been 3 years Albert. We need to know about your finger
This is the single greatest internet video.
Thanks I accidentally hurt my finger today. More power beautiful doctors 💕💕💕
How about thumbs?
Exactly
That's my problem right now
I sprained my thum from biking
@@ektamittal4853 still hurt ?
It broke the bone broke now I have a cast
I jammed my finger by trying to do a thousand years of death to my nephew but miss and hit his back and my finger went back a littlw too much to have a bruise jammed finger
😂😂
Classic
💀
@@quezo229 it was the most pain after this and did it again but i. Did to to my nephew
Senen goroshi
Thank you, i was in a car accident and nothing showed up on xrays but after a month 2 of my fingers still felt like the first day and i could not fully bend it without pain. I dont know if it made it slide back in place but did it once and i can fully close the fingers now. Now if only that trick worked on a femur fracture so i can get back to work.
Very interactive great episode fellas! What about a trigger thumb. I have one which recovered in terms of sensitivity bend motion but is still not right as it was in reverse bending. I did subscribe as I like your dynamic. I will try the balloon exercise which looks like might be a positive!
any better now?
How long before it is healed? How long do we keep finger in splint?
I see that this was 2 years ago.. how is your finger?
@@hlzime2942 till this day he still has his fingers in splint
@@kenorendain2298 hahaha
Bob - did you wear that shirt and tie for a bet?
The intro is so catchy, im not even being sarcastic. I've listened to it for 5 times now
I’ve sprained/jammed like 5 fingers I got used to it after a bit. But like the way to describe the pain the first time you jam it is, the color purple. Just hunk of that in the middle of your finger.
“Ball playing activities”
Lol
I sprained my finger because my brother tripped me on purpose and I fell really hard, so I tried to hit him and he dodged it and I ended up hitting a cabinet really hard. I'm stupid.
been there, done that. Recently.
Nail File. I have one for three weeks now. Still swollen and ice yesterday did nothing. Door jamb you got it.
hi Dr. Bob & Brad. how can i prevent the same injury like the sprained finger?what exercise I should do for my fingers before to play basketball? Thank you for your favorable response
Today I fought Someone at school I won btw first fight lmao... but I punched him wrong and the nuckle of my pinky is swollen and it hurts . Will this help me ?
When I flex my middle finger it hurts
good stuff
You guys are very entertaining. Thanks for the upload!
Me and my friend were punching a pillow, in one of the areas the pillow went paper flat
Punched it full force and sprained my pinkie
Delvoin I sprained my pinkie in football. It’s been almost 2 weeks it’s still hurting and it’s kind of spreading into my arm
Same shit happen to me last month and it still hurts
i was mad cuz we were getting clapped in volleyball and punched the wall. i sprained my pinkie and i have our yearly dodgeball tournament that’s super competitive and our only volleyball tournament this week
Jammed my finger in jiu jitsu. I can’t take time off of work and I need my thumb 😤 fml
How’s it going now?
literally me today
how long til it was healed, what did u do?
Great information. What about a mallet finger?
Bob and Brad
I can’t bend all the way too crack my finger it hurts if I try too .🤦🏽♂️
Just get to the point damn
No kidding, I’m here fast forwarding through the whole video smh
I know right
It’s soo annoying; they are talking crap majority of the time
these guys must be best friends in real life! I love these guys
I felt on my little finger on the left-hand side. This was on Sunday afternoon, and today Tuesday afternoon, the finger is still very swollen, but straight and still in sharp pain if I touch it or try to move it a little. I cannot bend it due to the inflammation. I have been icing it twice a day only, for 20 min. But the swelling hasn't gone down. I taped it. Which has helped to keep the inflammation down. Tapping it's the best.
question.. how does reducing the swelling help heal the injury? literally just sprained my thumb ;(
@parker playz In most cases, swelling means the injury is healing, but too much swelling can get uncomfortable pain-wise, in which case a doctor might recommend ibuprofen. I'm also curious about why reducing swelling is beneficial in this particular instance.
@@KashiwaDaisuke preventing the swelling helps it from becoming more comfortable and prevent more blood damage. It’s just so it can begin healing…
how are you doing now? Just sprained my thumb :( do u remember what u did?
@@apmire fell backwards snowboarding, it healed fully after about a year, good luck
@@patrickduncan9584 that's great to hear and yeah I could see how snowboarding might do that, pretty common. I was trying to what exactly you did after, did you visit the doctor? Did you just apply rice, or use compression?
Todag I sprained my finger in the gym 55 pound dumbell fell on top of my middle finger is not that bad but I can't close my hand hard so I can't lift I want to cry😔
how is it now. do you have full range of motion?
@@siro8472 wow this was 3 years ago I went to the gym like the day after I believe now I don't really take the gym serious I just go 3 times a week or maybe even just 2. Just want to have a good looking body
thanks a lot to both of you sirs for sharing your knowledge with us. i salute to both of you. i hope i can do the same. thanks a lot.
what do you do if you still have swelling after 3 weeks ? ice or heat ? and is it ok to massage it ?
I don't know if I've broke my finger or I sprained it but whenever I bend or straighten it it feels like my skin is going to rip off
Ariola Granola same did you ever figure out what it is
BeanerMan9000 me too
no one ever gets back to questions here. they just share their pain and then vanish smh..
@@Narcostic will you?
These are some chill dudes
Thank you so much!! I deliver furniture here in my small city of Memphis TN. Somehow, which I am completely unsure of 🥴, I’ve sprained my finger. I woke up & it was swollen & SUPER painful. Of course my first initial thought was that it was broken. After realizing I could still bend it completely, yet very painfully, I said it must not be broken. But still unsure. It’s been about 4-6 days now before coming across this video. I will try these methods, give it a few more days & go from there. Thanks so much💙
I was sprinting super super fast and fell and luckily I broke my fall with my arms but I sprained my finger and now its super hard to lift above 10 pounds and hopefully I really want to make a full recovery
Jammed my whole hand in the car door 🙄😖 wrapped it quickly & drove home so avoided swelling. No fractures (went to the ER the day after injury). Got a plaster splint/support for a week. Am dying to get it off 😣 Hope the joints arent too smashed… will try the balloon rehab 🙂 Thank you 🙏
They are adorable 🥰
Hi guys i fell the other day and I tried what you were doing and it cracked ,is that good
Preciate it
Ice treatment never worked on my sprained body parts ... My sprained body parts were never swollen too but it was as if my muscle climb upon one another. At such times only heat treatment worked.
How do I buddy tape my fingers if 4 of them are sprained ( I got in a longboard accident )
Hello Bob and Brad! I am having pain in the area of my left shoulder blade near the scapulothoracic junction. It flares up usually when bending over and reaching or extending in any fashion. The pain then remains for a short amount of time as I carry on. Could a pinched nerve or muscle knot cause this? It has been persistent for a few weeks now. It does feel better after rolling out knots with a golf ball. I have been doing some therapy for shoulder impingement which has yielded little results. My left shoulder also struggles a little bit more than my right shoulder in performing these. I hope I gave you enough information. If you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it a lot. I do plan on seeing my doctor eventually, but I would like to skip that if I could solve it first. ThANKS!
Hey man, did your finger heal by itself? 2 weeks and I have nothing but pain on my joint after trying to bend it.
I sprinted by finger yesterday so hopefully this works
I have a question about the bone that goes over the first knuckle of the hand to finger. I injured it two nights ago & the bone that wraps over the knuckle now slides off during certain hand movements. It’s a very fresh injury. Will this heal in a few days?
I caught my pinky in a drink rack at work. I injured the middle joint. It wasn’t comfortable when it happened but it didn’t really hurt. I noticed it swollen a week later and it’s been about two weeks since the injury. It has full range of motion, slight discomfort, noticeably swollen, and it pops when I move the joint. I am starting to splint and buddy tape it now. Any suggestions?
I was playing basketball and I tried to take a ball from someone when my finger hit it really hard and pushed my finger back and when I told my coach he thought I was lying so this helps alot
i did the same shit today lol
Thanks. Just sprained my finger when I tripped trying to basically pull an Encanto Luisa with way too many things at once.
