How To Cure Swollen Fingers?

Hello Doctor,
I was suffering from bulking of fore finger (left hand), Initially i approached an MBBS doctor he did dressing for 3 days later i was getting my left hand swelling. Then i approached an MS doctor, he told infection has got more and did one operation to remove the unwanted materials. After some 10 days he did one more operation SKKIN GRAFTING. Now its fine but he told that my finger movements will be restricted. I cant fold my finger now. I had approched him a month and half back. Please suggest is there any other method for the finger moment?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

You must had a hand space infection. This space infection is treated by the doctors.

In this surgical procedure sometimes muscles are also involved so that it also requires correction. Because of this muscle correction some times it may become difficult to fold the hand.

I advice you to do physiotherapy of the hand muscle. This involves various exercises. Electrotherapy, heat therapy is also given sometimes for the muscle contraction.

Please do as much work as possible with this hand this will gradually help improves the contraction.please start with the milder work than gradually shift to the harder work.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
