Finger wont bend after cut. on day 7 of having stitches. cut not on bottom of index finger but on side and top near knuckle closest to hand itself?

Needs in-person eval: I am concerned you have an injury to a tendon in the hand. This is potentially a serious problem and needs an urgent evaluation by a medical doctor. You should be seen today(!) by your personal doctor or at an Urgent Care or ER.
