Hi. About 6 weeks ago, I sprained my finger when I got it caught in the dog lead. At the time, it was swollen, some bruising but got movement back in a couple of days.
6 weeks later, my finger is still out of shape, the skin is taut and pinker than the rest of it, where there is a bulge. Also still painful but full movement.
Is this an injury that just takes yonks to heal or should I actually need to get it looked at. Pictures attached of offending finger and the opposite one for comparison
