    first if its as bad as you say you should be icing it down all the time! large bowl of ice and water.. submerge your hand in it.. will help with the swelling. you might have done more damage to your finger that can heal in a few days so might be an idea to get it checked...

    as for taping it you can take it. tap the knuckles, then if its already injured tap it to your middle finger. the tap shouldnt be so tight that the blood flow is restricted. You might just need to get it time to heal..
