Question - Jammed Ring Finger

I am a female age 50. I jammed my ring finger twice playing family volleyball, this was a month ago. I iced it for about 2 days right after it was injured. I did not go to the doctor.

It is still a bit swollen in the middle joint and still a little bit stiff. I can not get my ring back on. I have full range of motion but there is a little bit of weakness when lifting. Some tenderness around that middle joint when pressed on the sides of my finger joint.

How long before it is healed?

Another 2-3 weeks

It will most likely be another 2-3 weeks before the soft tissue will be healed - which should resolve the pain and weakness issues - however, you may have continued swelling for a long time, especially around the joint that was injured - this could last for years.
