🔥🔥🔥 Ok, need some help from you all...

I sprained my hand (slammed it in the door of all things), and it is on fire today. I have tried everything I can think of and detest a doc.

Cold packs, Turmeric, splinting it (which caused even m ore pain).

I know there has to be something I can put on it.

Keep in mind I am diabetic.

Shoot me your ideas...

All I know is 'keep it in an upright position at all times'
When my son broke his wrist roller blading, of course he was in tremendous pain. My sister-in-law (an RN) said keep it upright to relieve the pain (he had to have surgery with pins etc)
I slammed my finger in the dryer once (I know stupid right)
I was just watching a video on castor oil.
maybe a sling to keep it elevated (of course elbow lower/hand higher)
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
