What Causes Difficulty In Stretching The Hand Long After Treating Arm Fracture?
i broke my right arm about 20 years ago.went for an operation but the doctors who did it failed to line the bones to their right position .so from then i lost the ability to stretch my hand and it has remained in the same position for all these years.Is it possible to fix it now.
It may be due to ligament stiffness. For pain you can take tablet Acetaminophen. Do regular physical therapy after physiotherapist consultation. In case of swelling you may require X Ray after consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
