even if u dont think it will work put ice on it and take some tylenol or something like that for pain if u have pain pills take one. I would suggest taking something to make u sleepy and go to bed that way u do not have to worry about it and u will be out of pain cuz u will be sleeping. Hope ur finger feels better soon!

Try keeping the hand that you smashed above your heart, that will keep the throbbing down and try wrapping it up so you don't move it too much. It makes my finger hurt just thinking about it! Hope it feels better in the morning if you can suffer through the night.

Is it blue or purple and you can't move it? If so, you probably broke something. If not, keep trying ice and pain relievers. It should go away in a few days.

Try the homeopathic remedy Hypericum Perfolatum (Hypricum Perf). It is for traumatized nerve endings.
You can find it at Whole Foods or other natural food stores or Fiesta.

The pain is a learning tool so you won't do that again. Let the pain do its job.

If it's been a while and the pain hasn't subsided, you may need to go to the ER.

I usually cuss for a while then ice it.
It could be broken, you might want to have it x-rayed.

Smash your other finger. You will foget about the pain in that one finger for a bit.
