What Causes Swelling And Pain In Finger Days After Getting Cut?

I got a deep cut on my pinky finger- where it bends several weeks ago. The cut eventually healed but over the last few days it became swollen, red and hurts to bend. The cut occurred while washing a glass bowl that slipped and broke. My hand is achy and it is extending up my wrist.
