is it jammed?

I believe I jammed my finger 3 months ago. I never got it checked out I just splinted it for a couple days. The swelling went down, but the pain was still there. It hasn’t hurt that bad for a while but today it cracked, and whenever I bend my finger it cracks and I have a sharp pain from my PIP joint to my elbow. What could this be? Should I get it checked out??

    Yes, you need to get it X-rayed. Of course, after three months, even if it was fractured, it has already healed! You will probably need some PT for your finger in order to regain your normal range-of-motion. X-rays can show the doctor and PT what happened and what needs to be done, as far as the PT is concerned. Please let us know the results.
