Pain in top index finger joint...

got spin?

Banned
i have this pain in my top joint of my index finger, or the last joint at the end of the finger. it hurts to bend the joint to grab my racket. *right hand* i did not do any thing to it that i can think of to injure it. It just hurts to bend it. i splint it up when im not teaching or hitting, and when i sleep i splint it and over night it seems to subside the pain but it comes back after a hopper of feeding balls. Ive tried advil or any pain killer and it doesnt help. any one else have this problem? i cant hit the shift key with to fix my i's. Should i see a doctor? or just splint it and ice it while not playing or teaching?

You might have a damaged extensor tendon. Get an X-Ray (or MRI, something of that nature) and make sure it's okay. I had the same kind of pain when I broke my finger 10 weeks ago. It took 8 weeks for a full recovery.
