I had a slight accident where my dog's lead got caught on my left ring finger by a Great Dane. My finger was badly stretched and is now swollen, blue, and has tight wedding rings at the base.

I am 39 years old. On Sunday, my upper belly became distended with a lot of pain. I had my gallbladder removed a few years ago, but the pain feels just like that. It hurts more after meals. I've also been having diarrhea. What could be causing this and what should I do?
