An x-ray won't show if a ligament is torn. Have you contacted your doctor to let them know your finger isn't getting better?

I don't have experience with fingers, but I do with an ankle. They did an x-ray, told me it was sprained, and I had torn ligaments. Follow up with your docs, and ask to see an orthopedist or a hand specialist if they don't help.
