How To Treat A Finger Tip Injury?
A hockey ball smacked the end of my finger - very painful, the veins immediately came to the surface and the first third of my finger went black - its so sore, I can t sleep - should it need to be drained to relieve the pressure? I m pretty sure it isn t broken.

Hello,
It could be a contusion only, fracture or dislocation is unlikely.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
You can also apply icepacks for faster recovery.
If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
