Three weeks ago I was playing catch and the ball hit my middle finger on the right hand. It was painful so I headed to my family doctor and xrays were taken. He said it looks cracked in the joint above the knuckle and slightly to the side facing the middle finger. However the next day he phoned and said no it's not fractured.

Since then I have developed a lump on the inside of this joint facing the middle finger. If I gently touch it and move my finger up and down I can hear a clicking noise.

The joint below the nail does not bend. If I make a fist that same joint will not curl under. When making a fistm the middle joint to the joint closest to the nail remains more straight. Not sticking straight up but straight out ahead.

I also noticed a very small bump almost on the top of the joint closest to the nail. It's not visible to the eye but doesn't click.

I'm also noticing pain radiating now into the hand and into the forearm. These weren't sore before and don't feel injured but wondering if this is to due with the finger problem

Could this be a tendon injury or fracture? I live in Canada so you need a referral to see an orthopedic and my family doctor doesn't seem keen on sending me to anyone.
