Suggest Treatment For Stiffness In The Fingers

Hello, I broke my arm(right radius and ulna) on June 13, 2014. I had surgery that same day, I had metal plates and screws put in as well. After surgery my fingers were extremely swollen. All of the swelling has basically disappeared but, I still don t have full control of my fingers. I can move them but, only to a certain extent. I can make the slightest fist. And there s a lot of soreness in my arm. When will my fingers be back to normal and what can I do to help them get back to normal faster?

Hello,
I have studied your case. Most probably you are having RSD which causes swelling and stiffness. It takes time to recover. As you are saying that swelling is reduced and movements are improving so it is very good sign.
I would recommend you to continue physiotherapy. Take gabapin NT tablet one every night to recover fast. I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
