Help - Sore Finger !

[Acc72]

Hi All,

Just before Christmas I fell over whilst ice skating and bent my middle finger back !!

It was a bit swollen and painfull, and I assumed that it would be ok after a week or so.

10 weeks later it is still the same - the finger is still swollen at the knuckle and is very sore when I bend it (although I can fully bend the finger).

Does anybody have any hints / tips on what I should do (I don't want to go to my GP or the hosapital for something so minor).

Thanks fo any help.
