Yes, Ethan; I have had the same problem exactly as you describe. I went to a highly recommended young hand surgeon and he said he could "just go in and clean things up." He also stated the full recovery could take up to three months. At that I asked if continued use would cause permanent danger. His "no" response was the clincher. I kept playing but did find relieve by soaking a cotton ball in a epsom salt solution and taping it to the joint every night. The pain and swelling decreased greatly in a few days. Since that time, about a two years ago, I have had no more problems except a little soreness if I play very hard for a long period. But, it never hurts to consult with a physician. Good Luck
