If : If the swelling has not started to subside and your finger is tender to the touch then you may be dealing with an infectious process or other post-surgical complication. You need to call the doctor that performed your surgery and inform him/her of your symptoms. They will either see you in clinic or advise you to go to the er. Best of luck.
