What Causes Swelling And Discomfort In The Fingers?
Hi! My daughter had wrist fracture surgery on 01/13/2017 with plates and screws. Her incision is healed and she is going thru therapy. She has noticed in the last week that her middle and index fingers are swollen at cuticle area and fingernails are not growing on these fingers. She has slight discomfort around first knuckle and around cuticle. Is this anything to be concerned about?
