Finger injury: No one can tell you what this is without an exam and perhaps an x-ray. Go be seen. The longer you wait the worse the problem can get.

Mild sprain: Should be just a mild sprain unless there is significant swelling and ecchymosis.

Suggest exam/ xray: If your finger is still giving you problems after 3 weeks i would suggest an exam and possible xray you may have a small fracture or possible tendon or ligamentous injury.
