My finger was broken by a dog bite almost a year ago and there is still a hard lump around the joint.  I assumed that it is calcium build-up but when I really push around the injury it feels like it may be fluid.  It took a surprising amount of time for the infection to go away....longer than any injury that Ive ever had.  It looks like a large knot and needless to say, unsightly.  Still aches and I am unable to straighten it.  Any suggestions?  Thank you in advance
Hi. This is due to inflammation of the synovial covering of the joint, not allowing it to settle and cause pain and disability. Or tho opinion may help you. It looks you did not have time to keep it in rest, which is the most important part of the treatment.
