Finger injury

[chippetychop]

I bashed my finger about 4 weeks ago and it is still sore with a big lump on it.
i didn't get it looked at at the time as I was travelling and I could bend it ok, but I feel like it should have healed by now and maybe I should get it looked at.
Can anyone with any medical experience advise me whether there’s any point getting it looked at 4 weeks later? I feel like I’ve missed the opportunity to get it fixed but it’s still very sore and lumpy!

I had a similar injury (tripped on the stairs and my middle finger rammed straight into the upright of the stair) That was two months ago, and it’s only in the last week or so that it’s stopped hurting every time I bend it and I can feel it’s really healing.

Ouch! Glad it’s starting to feel better, that’s reassuring.
Yeah, I think I’ll hold off longer and just keep an eye on it. Thanks for answering.
