Will require more history regarding the finger, whether there was any injury to the finger a few days/weeks back, whether the pain is more when there's movement or even during rest, whether there is any discoloration, whether the pain is sudden in onset or gradually progressive etc. So, a thorough examination is required to come to a diagnosis.
Next Steps
X-ray of the Finger - AP & Lateral ( Just the finger X-ray )
Health Tips
consult with an orthopaedic surgeon physically
