JAMMED FINGER
A jammed finger describes pain and swelling of the middle joint of the finger and can occur when something hits the top of your finger hard, jamming that knuckle. Trying to catch a ball that strikes the tip of the finger and bends it backwards is one of the most common causes of jammed fingers.

You may need an x-ray as your finger could be broken.

After a few days, you may want to wear a splint that allows your finger to rest in a straight position.
