I'm dealing with a bit of an issue with my finger after catching a cricket ball. My x-ray came back normal, but there's still a little pain. I also feel some movement in the proximal phalange when I press on the joint. Should I be worried about this, or will it heal on its own? Any idea how long it might take to recover?

if the xray Is normal, then there might be a soft tissue injury. take rest and apply a ice pack. take a pain killer. it will be alright within a few days. regards

I recommend starting with physiotherapy and painkillers to manage your condition. If there's no significant improvement after a reasonable period, we can then consider surgical options.
