Recent review of the literature suggests that you should go ahead and seek medical treatment.  Even though it has been awhile since your injury you are still within the successful treatment time-frame.  Your physician will more than likely refer you to a physical therapist or hand specialist to splint your finger.   References: « Back *Disclaimer:*The information contained herein is compiled from a variety of sources.
