Nothing, unless: You are complaining you have pain. If your having pain then the doc needs to make a plan with you. This might require surgery where the 2 bones can be reunited. If the doc think s that is the cause of your discomfort....That is if you have discomfort.

See your doctor: By now your options are limited. Have your doctor refer you to a hand surgeon.
