Hand immobilized in a custom-molded, hard plastic splint due to pinky flexor tendon surgery on nov. 10. despite daily home exercises and 2x/week hand therapy, pinky and surrounding fingers are swollen and stiff. what else can i do for relief?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hold it above you heart will help swelling. i would ask the team that did the surgery as they know exactly what was done and can predict better in folks like you they worked on.
