How Can Swelling On The Index Finger Due To An Injury Be Treated?
I cut my index finger labor day weekend in two places. My stitches were removed almost two weeks ago and I still have some swollen. Is this normal as I ca not fully extend my finger.. Or should I go back to pop? As the total injury has been almost a month?
