How long does it take for a pinky sprang to heal? i went to the doc but everytime i think it's better it' not.

If it is just sprain: It should heal in 2-3 weeks of immobilization. Sometimes a small fracture can only be detected on delayed x-rays. If it is a fracture, it might not heal for longer time, say 8-12 weeks.
