Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to nerve damage. As you cannot bend the second knuckle, a tendon damage cannot be excluded either.

For this reason, I recommend consulting with a hand surgeon for a physical exam. A nerve conduction study may be needed too.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Aida Quka
