Finger stiffness ( join near nail ) all 8 fingers are stiff and cannot bend when i wake up. This is from judo.?

I did something to my fingers 2 weeks ago in Judo; for the last week my lower finger joints (all 8, near nail) are stiff and cannot bend when i wake up. they regain after 1 hour or from putting them in hot water, and cycling hot/cold water baths. Its 10 days later, and now only one or two fingers finger on the left hand is stiff cannot bend when i wake up but is fine after 30 minutes... Any thoughts? Is it ok to go to the sauna? Any risks/benefits from going to the sauna?

Update:

This is from doing randori in judo and the gripping with the fingers.

Update 2:

Oops i went in the dry sauna for 75 minutes at full heat

    you probably need to take some vitamins that help with your joints. and you probably jammed all your fingers. the stiffness should go away but just be careful next time. =) I think the sauna should be fine just don't stay in there too long maybe 15 min tops? it should relax your muscles.
