Finger Lump

I have a lump on the top joint of my index finger which has been there for about 2 months now. Sometimes its sore but now always & its starting to get bigger. Is it worth getting it checked out? I don't wanna waste the doctors time if its nothing serious

I had this about 2 years ago, it was very painful.  I went to my orthopedic hand specialist and she told me that it was the start of arthritis in my finger and that it would go away.  She gave me a small splint like device and told me to wear it for a while because reducing movement in that joint would help it go away.  She was right.  about two weeks later the pain was gone and the bump is smaller.
