Sprained Pinky Finger?

About two and a half months ago, I jammed my pinky finger into a person's shoulder. I had it x-rayed two days later which revealed it wasn't broken. I taped it up(that's what the doc told me to do) and untaped it a few days later. After a week or so, it felt fine, although some days it hurt really bad. The bruising lasted for well over a week after the initial injury.

A few days ago, the pains returned in my pinky. I'm a guitarist and now I can't play the guitar with my pinky because it hurts too much to bend it. My mom said maybe it's arthritis. Is it possible to develop arthritis because of a bad sprain? Or is it possible something else is causing my pinky pain?

Arthritis takes longer to develop.
I'd suggest calling a chiropractor; although their main concern is the spinal column, they can help with any joint. My chiropractor treats my wrists and thumbs also, as well as my feet and knees.
