Finger swelling
Hi Doctor, I injured my finger while playing basketball about a month ago. The joint is still swollen and I can't bend it properly from that part. It feels stiff and painful when I try to move it. Can you please advise what this could be and what treatment I should take? And if it's requires surgery and I'm away from my home and I'll be back home by 25 so is it fine, if I'll do any surgery at that time
