Will The Swollen Joint Of The Ring Finger Return To Its Normal Size?
I hurt my ring finger 5 weeks ago. It was swollen and painful but I had full movement. I buddy taped it and used ice for a few days. I still can t get my wedding rings on, have mild pain and the pip joint is still mis sharpen / thicker on the side nearest my index finger. Will the joint return to its normal size? I presumed it was just a sprain but should I have it checked out? Thanks for any advice

Dear sir normaly the edema should go away in a week ,and please be carefull not to keep to many time the finger taped together because they cam become rigid.
Sometimes when the edema persist probably the damage may be worse. You sgould go e chech.it with an orthoaedic
