Thorn in knuckle

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice. 10 days ago whilst pruning a bush I got a thorn go into my middle knuckle of my idex finger. I pulled it out and washed the tiny puncture. Within an hour it was swollen and stiff. I went to a&e the next morning and was given a course of anti biotics in case it went bad. Once they were complete (after 7 days) it is still swollen and bruised. A repeat visit to the doctors came yesterday and I was advised it could take a while to subside. Has anyone else experienced this and if so any advice on what to do.....other than wait? It’s not infected but is mighty painful. I’ve attached a pic of the offending bush.

 

Thanks in advance 

Billy
