Accepted Answer

That would be an abnormally long time to have significant pain from a simple sprain. Did you ever have xrays done? Often the mechanism of a spain (hyperextension or bending of the finger backward) can also cause small fractures called avulsions. In this type of injury the piece of bone that is attached to the tendon will rip off and this can take a long time to heal, and sometimes requires orthopedic consultation and repair.

Question 9

My hands & feet are always cold! my hands are super dry & get really sweaty. my right is so dry that it cracks, bleeds, hurts & my fingers tingle now?

Accepted Answer

Moistness in the hands come from the autonomic nervous system.  It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of dysfunction of the autonomic nerves.  Tingling is often a sign of peripheral neuropathy.  You may need nerve conduction studies and lab tests.

If you have the same pain and it is not improving with therapy, see the hand specialist for help.  Your original diagnosis may be wrong. The specialist will examine and determine needed testing to help guide you.
