Ice it down, or put ice packs on it,
keep it elevated so its above your heart,
and try not to move your fingers for a couple of days.
Take the med's doctors gave you.

Sorry about your accident!

jesus, Hannah p, go the hosp already!!!!

two points for every injury u have,,,,

only joking,,,,hope ure ok,,, u should see a pro though

well you shouldnt be typing on the pc so get off ur lazy bum

If nothing's actually broken or torn then there's not a lot you can do except pop painkillers and wait for the bruising to subside.
There's not a lot of point to strapping the fingers together if they are all badly bruised, but you could gently support them by putting cotton wool between them and loosley taping them together I suppose, but it probably won't help other than to make you feel psychologially better about them.

I was told to use freezing bags of peas, or fill poly bags with ice and keep putting my ankle in them until the bruising and swelling went. I did this for about half and hour a day for some weeks, I actually brake my leg and ankle though. But it did help reduce the pain and I think it actually aided my recovery. You can use peas or ice on bruising though - no probs, it wont hurt you at all.

have they x-rayed it to see if anything is broken? if not ask them to. if they have and you know it's only bruised use ice and painkillers. if they didn't prescribe you something for pain, call them back and ask them to send a prescription straight to the pharmacy for you. i see you have whiplash too. i did and i had problems for 9 mos. really bad and always after that too ranging from nothing to alot of pain, stiffness, weakness, headaches, back pain. you will probably have to be aggresssive about the treatment you are receiving because the health care professionals don't always do the right/best thing.
