Brief Answer:
Xray advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I have seen the attachments and seeing the picture of your finger it is quite evident that there is still swelling present in the involved joint and thus must be painful.
Have you had any x-ray so far? In case yes then please upload the report and in case you haven't had one then in my opinion you need it.
Till then take signoflam tablet for another 7 days as before and visit your doctor with the xray report.
In case you have any questions about it, I will be glad to answer.
Regards
Dr Manisha
