[|Human|] I injured the top knuckle (right under the finger nail) of my pinky finger a couple of months ago. Tried to catch a swinging door that opened and pulled on it real hard. It now has an indintion to the left of the knuckle and is always sore to squeeze or if it gets hit with anything. Solutions?
[|AI|]  Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to a strained finger. I suggest to ice, compress and elevate the hand. You'll need to rest the joint and apply ice packs on (and then off) for 20 minutes at a time. Never apply ice directly to the skin; wrap the ice pack in a towel. I also suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
