2 metacarpal, sprained 3 1/2 weeks ago, worse, bruised, feels like pins and needles hard to grasp things, bad pain up arm tingling sometimes, and achy?

Hand sprain: Metacarpal phalangeal joint sprains can take weeks to months to resolve completely. Stiffness and range of motion can take months to return to "normal". Just move hand and fingers, protect from further injury. Tingling is atypical for isolated hand injury. Ulnar neuritis, carpal tunnel, neck or elbow injury.?
