Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Tenderness Normal In The Dislocated Top Joint Of The Little Finger Six Weeks After Putting It Back In Place And Splinting It?
I dislocated the top joint (closest to the tip) of my pinky finger approx. 6 weeks ago. I do not have insurance so didn t go to the hospital. My finger was put back in place and has been splinted ever since. The joint is still tender to the touch - is that normal?
It is normal to have some tenderness in this region after this period of time. I recommend performing regular physical activity in order to help gain the function and reduce the tenderness.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
