Jammed middle finger badly playing basketball...got x-ray they said no break but 9 months later it's still hurts and is almost double the normal size ?

Dr. Gregory Krivchenia answered

Repeat evaluation: Since this has been going on for nine months, I would recommend a repeat Xray and a visit to an orthopaedic surgeon to re-evaluate the finger. A painful swollen finger nine months old may require additional treatment.
