A member asked:
Should i have surgery for a severed palmaris longus tendon? awful pain now for 6 weeks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hand: Not necessarily as this tendon does little with movement. However, it is unusual that you are still having pain after 6 weeks. Might be a good idea to see a hand surgeon and make sure you did not hurt something else.
