Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
ok my pinkie finger is recovering from fracture at its base near hand knukle. (9 weeks now) the surgeon has confirmed no surgery needed. All fine. My question is more about how to enhance recovery (if possible/relevant) along with occupational therapy to help the joints to become less stiff and swollen. Would intake of supplements be beneficial, such as collagene? glucosamine? vit C or else? thank you Chris
Yes you can take glucosamine ,vit c and vit D with CALCIUM.
Use ice packs to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain. Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you, For early healing you can take Tab celin [vit C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzomac plus ]. If there is no relief them you may need to do MRI.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
