“Possible old fracture in finger?”
Back on April 24 I fell while hiking. I thought I just badly bruised my pinky finger, but I can't bend it all the way (while gripping) without pain. there seems to be a lump on the inside of the finger at the joint. Can it still be fixed? What options do I have at this point?

Probably a missed sprain; I would go see an ortho to make sure.
Yes, you need to be evaluated.

If recovery through a simple x-ray is feasible and to assess surgery
Sorry to hear about your fall. You should see orthopedic hand surgeon to have radiographs and discuss options. These generally will be therapy with hand therapist or multiple surgical options depending on findings. Good luck.
First things first. An xray should be taken to determine the diagnosis.
