Another : Another you can and should take in consideration is a ligament injury. For a precise evaluation go talk to a hand surgeon. He or she may suggest a MRI which can help confirm the injury.

From : From your description, it could well have been broken when you hurt it a year ago. I think the first thing you should do is see a hand surgeon. You will probably need an x-ray and a good evaluation by the surgeon.
