I was playing Basket Ball 4 months ago and while catching the ball, it hit my first finger. It has been paining since then. I thought that the pain would go away and never saw a doctor. But now even when someone touches the finger with little force I am getting extreme pain. I work in IT field so this finger does type lot of keystrokes daily and I am not sure there is any way I can give rest to this finger. I am going to see Ortho but I am told that if its 21 days after injury, there is not much which can be done.
