About my left-hand ring finger...

[fpb]

...I have come to the conclusion that it is probably not actually broken. It must be chipped or something, because it still hurts, and it's stiff and a bit swollen, but I can type with it. As a matter of fact, type is the only thing I can do, because anything that asks for more strength is pretty much out. I have a feeling that it is getting better, but it still provides a background of steady, unpleasant bone pain to everything I do during the day.

Get some MSM and glucosamine. The MSM is an antiflammatory and the glucosamine helps rebuild cartilage. It was used on horses for years before it was marketed for people--we all used to take little pinches of our horses' meds when the winter made us particularly achy.
