How long?: If this is sudden and new, then infection of the joint is the first thing to rule out. Less urgent (but still needing work up) include trauma (that you didn't notice) to the finger, ligament inflammation or structural defect, gout, autoinflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis to name a few. Good physical exam will rule out most possibilities.
