Yes it's very hard to have a stiff and painful finger after surgery.
After injury and surgery, stiffness in finger is the norm.
Hope you have your post surgery xray to see if all went well in the surgery.
Movement recovery is painful and gradual slow process. It can take months to years in some cases and few weeks in others.
Keep pushing your pain boundary. That's the way you will gain range. Also take painkillers 1 hr before physio so the pain during and after physio is reduced and you can do better.
Next Steps
I can help with a pain injection which drastically reduced pain so you can easily focus on physio
