Hi,
In my opinion, you have injured the skin and tendons in the middle finger and the inflammation is spreading. I suggest painkillers and local Ice application. If no relief in 3-5 days then consults your Physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
