severe hand injury

i gotten in a bad accident a few years ago and severley messed up my left hand. had alot of surgeries at HCMC in minnesota and they pretty much reconstructed my hand but apart from severe nerve damage and tendon damage my hand is still technically all "natural" material if you will. ive had many stiches and some were placed on my middle finger on the middle knuckle and there was a small peice of stuture left in there. now that part of my finger, on top, has a puss pocket that pops all the time and stings a bit but the worst part is that my finger looks jammed. It looks like there is a lot of swelling just in the middle joint but there is no bruising just slight redness. Non of my other fingers are like that. I looked up a lot of symptoms and I've heard i have osteoarthritis and some kind of nodes or I've been told i have ealy stage of arthritis but nobody tells me what it really is. I can't bend any of my fingers no not we they a little wiggle but I learned to use it again and having this now is severly meddling with my daily routine. I am only 20 years old. I have 2 kids. I have a full time job and this is getting in my way. Please help me figure this out so I can figure out what to do. The doctors in my city currently just give me anti inflamatory meds but they do not do anything.
