A member asked:
What exercises would help me to break down scar tissue in my finger joints?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Joint scar tissue: This can be a difficult problem depending on the cause. Your best best would first be to see a certified hand surgeon for evaluation as to the cause and then recommendations can be made. If you have stiffness from arthritis you may need medication or surgery but if it's scarring from surgery you probably need to see a special hand physical/occupational therapist for exercises.

Should I have my finger x-rayed? I don't know if i jammed, sprained or broke my index finger. I assume i didn't break it because i can bend it at the second joint at a 90 degree angle, but with slight pain, i'm assuming the best idea is to ice and tape it
