I would probably wrap a packet of frozen peas in a tea towel and hold it for a while.

Very swollen today.Went to work but they sent me to the hosp so I spent 4 hours sat at Xray to be told its not broken, just swollen and wait for it to go down !
Can't drive now as it pulls toomuch and can't write as it is my right hand.
