Hello, i broke my right index finger 8 weeks ago. Ever since its still swollen and numb and i can barely move it. I've been following my doctor's instructions but he's on vacation now and i havent been able to have another check up on my finger yet. Is it normal that my finger's motion is blocked inside my joints even when i try bending it using my other hand? And is it normal that its numb and still swollen?

What is the treatment for a nerve or tendon injury if it wasn't found for 8 weeks? How will the tendons and nerves be examined? What is the process of healing and how long does it take to recover?

I consulted 3 different doctors when i broke my finger.The first one advised me to the second doctor who told me that i have to get surgery on my finger in order for it to heal properly The third doctor said that surgery isn't necessary since I'm only 20 and the finger would heal on it's ownNow i dont know whether it was a good decision to not get surgery If it turns out that i should have done the surgery will i have to go through surgery now?
