Soft tissue injury: Most likely it would be a sprain or soft tissue injury. Ice, pain relief and strapping pinky with ring finger should help.

Pain 5th finger: I'm not sure when this happened; but persistent pain beyond 3-4 days or any abnormal position of the finger should be checked with an X-RAY. The mechanism also suggests a fracture, which may be tiny. It also may be suggestive of a Boxer's fracture. All the best.
