Well, it is swollen. So ice it for 15 minutes to help decrease the swelling. When you are injured, the body sends blood to that part of your body to allow it to heal, but bruising results if too much blood gets there too quickly.
I think you sprained your finger. Keep it bandaged and still and ice it for 15 minutes every other hour for 3 days. Then on day four soak it in hot water for 15 minutes every other hour for 2 days.
then, you should be able to play catch again. If it still looks bad, see a doctor.

It's called a broken finger. Chances are after 2 days it started to set. If it didn't set right, the doctor will have to break it again to fix it.

If it still hurts really badly, and swelling like that, you probably broke it. My advice: go to your doctor or the ER right away. I hope you feel better soon!

you likely need to have it looked at. It could be fractured, and there are many risks associated with not treating a fractured bone.
