fractured finger
i fractured my finger around thanksgiving (well i never went to the dr.s but my sister fractured hers and mine had the same swelling). anyways, now the middle knuckle on that finger is still sore when its touched (not like just brushing up on it but when its pushed on) and the knuckle wont crack what so ever. is it still swolen? will it go away?

I've had the same thing happen to me several times.
The first time I thought I'd jammed my pinky finger when I caught a basketball and it started hurting really bad.
A few hours later, it started swelling up - went to the doctor and found out that I had not jammed, fractured, nor broken my finger.
I had torn a tendon in my finger. They take awhile to heal - a couple months for all of the pain to go away. Still hurt when I pushed on it for a couple months.
Then in October of 07', I set a volleyball on a serve and my thumb went backwards - jammed it. No swelling, but it hurt for a few days.
Then, just in December, I was playing basketball on defense and I accidentally brushed my finger against my friend's ear and I felt a seething snapping sensation in my middle finger.
Tore a tendon in my middle finger - hurt for a few months, but just about a week ago the pain that you get from pushing on it went away.
You most likely tore a tendon.
It'll hurt for a couple of months, but eventually, the pain will go away...
It hurts severely when it happens, and when you "forget" that it's torn and tear it again on accident.
But you can't do much about it except for wait it out.
