A few months ago i jammed my middle finger catching a football incorrectly. i was cracking my knuckles resently and had an intense pain in that spot?

Unrelated: Given that it was a few months since you jammed your finger,the pain from cracking your knuckle is probably unrelated. You just over stretched the ligaments around the joint and it was painful.

X-rays: Hi! Injuries like this can sometimes cause small fractures (broken bones), torn/strained tendons, or torn/sprained ligaments. X-rays are a good first step, and a primary care physician (either here on HealthTap or in person) can help arrange that for you.
