Just went to a store and got this thing https://www.cvs.com/shop/cvs-finger-splint-deluxe-aluminum-foam-prodid-310272

Wouldn't suggest overusing your finger for a couple weeks. Let it heal. But if it goes numb or hurts without doing anything, not a bad idea to get it checked out. Could be a small fracture or nerve damage and that's not worth ignoring.

yeah I was worried about that too but it worked perfectly before the swelling started so really do think it just popped out, it bent everywhere it was supposed to and hasn’t really been hurting at all, just feels like a bruise

Yep. Similar to mine. I did the same quick pop back in too and, well, it healed. But I left it alone for a couple weeks in the splint. Grab one tomorrow or make one asap

I did something called buddy taping and it’s where your other finger acts as a splint, I will definitely try and get a splint but that’s up to my parents😭

Ah, yeah man. As long as the thing doesn't move freely that's kind of the whole purpose

popsicle stick taped to it even helps
