I can hide my necklace under clothes, but the rings are another story. Even during operations, I have insisted that they be taped to me. The necklace and engagement ring have never left my body since I received them. My engagement ring (which I cannot even get off my finger,) another diamond ring and a very sentimental diamond necklace. I wear three diamond pieces of jewelry at all times. Your finger may not be exactly the same as it was before the injury, but overall, it should function well.I keep reading warnings about jewelry and not wearing diamonds in Europe. You may be left with a small bump on the top of the joint and be unable to fully straighten the joint.

Redness, swelling and tenderness of the skin around the end of the finger are common for 3 or 4 months after injury but usually settle eventually. It may take several months for your finger to become fully functional. You should also avoid sports involving the hands while your injury is healing.

In some cases, you may only need to see a specialist once, as a hand physiotherapist may be able to take over your care. You may be advised to continue to only wear the splint at night for up to 4 more weeks. It should take 6 to 8 weeks for your finger to heal, after which time you'll be able to use it again.

The middle joint of the finger is left free so you can continue to move it to prevent any stiffness developing. It's very important that the end of your finger does not bend during the time it's splinted because it may slow the healing and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
The splint is taped on and must be worn day and night for 6 to 8 weeks to allow the 2 ends of the torn tendon to stay together and heal. You'll still be able to bend your finger at the middle joint. Your finger will be put in a plastic splint, which keeps it straight, with the end joint slightly bent backwards. Once your finger is splinted, applying an ice pack that's wrapped in a towel, a few times a day for 10 to 20 minutes, may also help reduce the pain and swelling. You can take an over-the-counter painkiller, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, to help relieve the pain. The swelling might make it difficult to remove the ring later, or the ring may cut off the blood supply to your finger. If you wear a ring on the affected finger, you should remove it. This will help reduce any swelling and pain. Try to keep your hand raised until a doctor sees you. You'll need to have your finger splinted. Go to your nearest minor injuries unit as soon as possible if you think you have mallet finger. It can also happen after catching your finger on something. In some cases, the tendon does not tear, but a small fragment of your finger bone breaks off where the tendon is attached. Your finger will also be painful and swollen.
