Sprained finger: Normally sprains resolve in 3-5 days and the pain gradually fades. What was the mechanism of injury - based on your symptoms I would be concerned that there is more to this than a simple sprain and you might benefit from a visit and or x-ray

Be seen: You may want to be seen just to make sure it is not a more serious injury such as a fracture.
