About a month ago i jammed my left pinky finger playing the piano. the first nuckle joint is bent down will it get normal? male 49 pianist

If it is the joint : Near the end of you finger (the dip joint) it will not get better and most likely needs to be splinted as you have probably ruptured the extensor tendon. You have a mallet finger. See and ortho doc particularly if you want to continue to play piano at a high level.
