Time for follow up with the Dr who originally treated you. If the problem is not getting better, you should return for further testing and treatment. It is possible that a more intensive imaging form (such as an MRI) may show an injury previously missed.

There are numerous bones and tendons which could be considered pain generators and your best bet at this point is to obtain orthopedic hand specialist consultation
