Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
I understand here that there is a inflammation in your finger joints. I suggest to do a x ray and then if there is know other issue then deeping your hand under hot water with added salt keep doing moments of your hand and finger. Do it two to three times a day and then check. Even if it is not gone then you need to visit a physical therapist for treatment and need to take anti inflammatory as well pain killer for time being if needed. So follow as per I have suggested. You can mail me on nirajmodish@gmail.com for further treatment planning too.
Hope it was useful to you. Take Care.
