Take it easy. : At times a small blood vessel can pop inside the finger and make it hurt. Slowly the blood gets absorbed and the pain will go away completely. Other times the the ligaments around the small joints and also the tendon of the muscles may get inflamed with too many pitches or tight grip and it also will go away. Soak hands in warm water and get it rest for few days. If not better see your doctor.

Injury to tendon: My first consideration would be an injury to your finger tendons, your lumbrical muscles, your finger itself, and you will need an evaluation, as well as possible imaging. Since it just happened ice it until you can see your physician
