Would Keeping My Ring Finger Immobilized Alleviate The Pain I Am Feeling Upon Movement?
My ring finger on my right hand hurts to try to make a fist and if i do get it closed a little it snaps when i open my hand. I think i jammed it a while ago but am wondering if it should be immobilized more so it can heal or just keep waiting? its been about 3 or 4 weeks now. Thanks

Hello,
Immobilize the finger for few days. Ice packs can be applied for faster recovery. If pain persists better to consult an orthopedic and plan for X-ray.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
