I have had a sprained finger for 10 weeks now. how long does it usually take to heal?

Depends: It depends on what exactly has happened to your finger. A simple "sprain" to your finger would normally be expected to be better by 10 weeks. It just suggests that something else may be going on. Consider being checked by a hand specialist. Thank you for the question.

See: Orthopedic hand surgeon. Sprains generally take less time to heal and you may be making it worse if using it.
