    I played football for over 10 years so I can say that I've had some bumps and bruises. Not much you can do about this other than keep icing and take ibuprofen which is an anti-inflammatory.

    This actually sounds exactly like a torn ligament. Ive had it twice over the years in my fingers. One was from a bad fall and the other was from volleyball. The dead give away when I got it, was the difficulty straightening it. If it continues, get it peaked at to be on the safe side :o) fyi- a torn ligament is no biggie at all. They just have you wear a finger splint for a few weeks.

    Thanks! I'm wearing a finger splint right now anyway :)  Managed to dig one up from when I slammed my finger in a door like 5 years ago!
