Bruises, strains and contusions in that area can take time to heal but you have a lot of little bones and ligaments in there too. It only takes a little chip, crack or dis-alignment to cause pain and arthritis can set in. If it's out of alignment they can set and cast. If it's non displaced the cast gives it time to heal without constantly aggravating the area with day to day stuff. If it's been 3 weeks , I would get it checked. Even if it isn't broken you still may need splinting to rest it for healing.

I don't think it's out of alignment. It's not swollen, or if it is it's just a tiny bit. No bruise ever showed up, That's why I didn't think it was anything serious. Maybe if I kept this thing on more it would help, It just aggravates me:)
