Seek care: You need x rays to determine the extent and type of fracture so the treating hand surgeon can determine the best approach for you. If fractured will require some degree of support and immobilization.

Finger fracture: Can heal quickly but there are many structures in the hand that combine to give function. Adjacent joints may be slightly arthritiic and be inflamed, tendons and ligaments can be stiff or tight, skin can stay swollen, joints can be inflamed.Muscles can be weak from injury or disuse.Pain in some degree can be from even a slight subtle change in mechanics so get an x-ray to find out what you have.
