Will my fingers stop swelling?

What is a good way to stop swelling in you r fingers from setting a volleyball?

  • i set as my position but half way through my fingers look like sausages and are limp can you help?

  • Answer:

    I think that you are setting wrong. Make sure that when you set you cushion the ball until it almost touches your face. Then redirect it into the air and let go when your elbows are almost straight. It's sort of a "catch and release." You may be setting with too much "finger," and you don't want to use your fingers too much, only to cushion the ball. If that doesn't stop it entirely, you can try taping your fingers at your more sensitive joints. But in the meantime, you can soak your fingers in vinegar for 3-4 minutes, then ice them for three minutes alternating hands for 20-25 minutes. I think you should see a doctor though, just to make sure that there isn't anything seriously wrong that you need special treatment for. Hope I helped!

When ur playing,tape your fingers together. It may be akward, but you'll get used to it. Stretch your fingers every so often. Good luck! I hope you win!

Not the help you want to hear. Stop setting volleyballs. Or get a trainer to help you learn a new way to do it.

Before the match, take a vitamin meant for your bones. It could cost you like $10 for a bottle of 50 or so pills. Anything that works with joints will do. Everynight try doing a hand massage on your joints, and hands using a hot oil from Kroger or such. It sells for about $3.00. How do I know? I played football for years, and being on the front offensive line, our stance relied on our fingertips. It caused practically the same pain and feelings. I understand. After the massage, wait a little bit and then add a towell over frozen peas. Put on hands for 30 minutes. You WILL feel a heck of a lot better. Give it a week or so and you'll be back to normal.

some plays wrap their fingers in first aid tape, cloth like. That may go with the theory behind medical socks made to stop swelling in legs and knee braces, back braces. They are tight so the blood cannot flood the capilaries. But thats not a expert opinion thats just my opinion.

Ice water for 2 Min's and then warm for 2 Min's repeat for 10 cycles then a sports cream before bed

Try taping them before the game, the pressure will keep them from swelling, just make sure you don't tape them too tight or you will cut off circulation. Swelling is always treated using the acronym RICE - Rest Ice Compress Elevate, since you can't use the other 3 during a game you have to settle for compress. Good luck, hope you win.
