My hand injury- still having pain almost 3 months later, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time heals: Typically hand and finger injuries have persistent reactive swelling and associated pain/discomfort for four months. In addition it will take a full 8-12 months for full recovery. If pain is not improving at all by four months follow up with a hand surgeon.
