Thing ive pulled my middle finger joint (no laughing at the back)... its been 3 or 4 weeks now and its still stiff to bend and cant make a tight fist. Didnt actually hurt when i did it, it just kind of clicked/popped and i thought nothing of it.
Depends on how bad it is really.
I dislocated mine in October and the swelling hasn't completely gone yet and I still can't make a tight fist although it seems to be getting better. I also fell over and broke the end of the same finger just after Christmas, which hasn't helped. I still occasionally get caught out by it when picking things up, but on the whole it doesn't bother me now.
i think age comes into it, i did my finger the same way about this time last year and still occasionally i tweak it. in my 30s it would have been nothing.
i found that stretching my fingers out and into a tight fist helped heaps, wish i'd started doing it right after the injury not months later.
guitar also, playing chords keeps it all moving.
of course the utter irony for me was that after well over 35 years of extreme sports my worst lingering injury was caused when slowly running (slipped hopping over a style). sods law that!
