How To Heal Pins And Needles Like Pain In My Fingertip?

I smashed my fingertip in a car door Tue afternoon. As of Thu afternoon, the fingernail has gone completely blue with some slight white spots and the end of the finger is swollen enough that I cannot bend the most distal joint. I still have capillary refill in the skin around the fingernail and in the pad of the fingertip, and feeling, although it s a pins & needles feeling. At what point do I really need to be concerned? If I lose feeling, I presume I should go to the emergency room right away?
