See ur Hand Surgeon: For injuries to your hand, go see your Hand Surgeon. Your Family Doc can help you find best one who takes your insurance. Or you can thumb thru insurance's doctors directory. Another option is to start w/Primary Care Sports Medicine doc (fellowship-trained Family Doc) who can help determine whether surgery is necessary or not. Perhaps, all you need is referral to Occupational Therapist.
