What Is The Remedy For The Pain In Knuckle Making The Finger Movement Difficult?
I injured my right pointer knuckle. a skin flap was created and I received three stitches to secure the skin. I hit knuckle on metal locker while cutting a lock with bolt cutters. Now that skin is healed, every time I bump the knuckle it hurts badly. It has been three or four weeks since the injury. Also, I can t bend finger completely closed. What could the reason be? thank you

It can happen as though your skin has healed from outside , inner side his still not fully mature so i would advice you to do hot water fomentation. and also apply Diclofenac ointment. You can take Brufen tablet for pain relief.
