Broken finger rehab

I broke the 1st phalange of the 4th finger on my left hand about 5 weeks ago playing soccer. It was a non-displaced fracture. Not knowing it was broken, I waited 10 days to seek medical attention, at which point it was splinted.Now, 4 weeks later, that finger has zero flexibility. I cannot bend the 2nd knuckle at all. I think there is significant scar tissue formation. I am going to see my physician later today, but I need some encouragement about the odds of regaining full use of the finger. I hope someone can offer some. Please :-)-Eric
