Brian, I would bet that you have developed arthritis in that joint, but the only way to find out for sure is to get an X-ray. An Orthopedist would be the best specialist for you to see for an evaluation and diagnosis. Let us know what the X-ray shows, and what your doctor recommends. Good luck.

About a month ago, I jammed my pinky finger playing basketball. It is jammed at the top part of my finger right between the nail and the first joint. It is still sore, and painful to bend and is noticeably larger than my other pinky. What should I do to treat it?
