Deep cut on index finger @ knuckle on 12/1/2018. got stitches for 3 weeks. still painful, swollen & finger won't bend. what to do? physical therapy?

Finger: You should go see your primary physician to evaluate if any tendons or other parts of the finger were severely injured. I have seen decreased range of motion following lacerations of the hand due to scarring in which Physical therapy did help. In those same cases, they did have an xray and also saw a plastics hand specialist.
