How Can A Wound On The Finger Be Treated?

Cut my middle finger to the bone know the knuckle on a glass, finger healed. X rayed at the hospital and no glass but the knuckle are is swollen and movement limited. Feels hard to touch almost like a bone is raised towards the knuckle. Any suggestions as to what this could be. Cannot knock on doors or anything similar with the hand as this would cause great pain. Thanks
