Hey doctor, my index finger got injured few months back but still pain is in the upper joint of index finger and I can press that joint it hurts.

The joints would not have healed properly keep it under rest for two more weeks, consume good calcium and iron for quick healing, you can immobilize the index finger by keeping a finger splint, if you are fine we can send you a splint, let us know we can send you by courier.

Regards, Lybrate user. Injuries may affect different tissues in our body-muscles, ligaments, joints, capsules, tendons, fascia, bones, etc. If the structures do not return to their original state after the healing process, pain could continue. Sometimes the position of bones in the joint may be altered, which can cause pain to last longer than usual.  it is recommended to consult an orthopaedic physiotherapist for an evaluation.
