Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had basal joint surgery along with trigger finger surgery on my middle finger in March of this year. I am still having stiffness and cannot make a fist unless I hold my fingers down with the opposite hand then I usually can but with pain. The middle finger just closes half way. I figured I would have to give it time but this seems unlikely it will get better. Should I make another appt. with my surgeon to review or give it more time? Thank you for your time in this matter.
