Who's here after hitting the door 😆... I've punched my door one month and a half, 3 times in a row out of anger ... my boxing coach said to me there's nothing to fear of just Ice your hand... Thank god my hand is 90% restored I don't feel the pain anymore. I see this video on TH-cam's recommendation I liked it and I already subscribed to your channel and I'm glad to see such a concise and informative video about it.
Thank you ma’am this gonna help me a lot ❤

Lmao me too 😂 been in multiple fights never broke a bone till now
Yay ! I have been going nuts trying to figure out how I got a boxer fracture in my car accident- it was the slamming on the breaks and my hand hitting the dashboard…. I can’t do any of these exercises yet, but thx for the tips!
Thank you! This helps a lot.
Fantastic advice thank you👍
Thank you very much. DR. WONDERFUL
My pinky was bent backwards in the opposite direction. Backwards. I had to set it myself and pray. It finally healed and works again. They wanted to cut ✂️ it off. But it works great now. But hurts from time to time
Hey there. It's your number 1 fan. I've seen improvement, a lot, I'm back to work, not to heavy. Stiffness and ROM are still there in the mornings. I noticed my pinky is really weak, also stiff. Now that I can make a fist it barely has any strength. Should I get puddy? Any specific workout for pinky? Please and thanks. To anyone else reading this virtual hand care is a Godsend. Who knows how much she helped me.
Thank you so much! I got a boxer’s fracture while training and in a cast rn. This was really helpful and looking forward to following these tips.
Glad they are helpful!

Glad to hear that!
the best excersise vedio for boxers fracture recovery.
Vikash Khatri thank you!
I recently had this break myself. I had to schedule a whole week after my cast came off and needed to know what exercises I can do in the meantime. None of these are causing any pain so I think this is a good soft start for me while I await my upcoming appointment.
How much time need to recover
@@pri-yam1646 It'll vary a bit, but after the cast came off it was about four weeks.
Really helpful 👍
Thanks for the video, Michelle! Helped a lot! Greetings from Brazil.
Glad it helped!
Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you miss, I really appreciate you sharing this video, i myself is going through a fracture recovery process, your technique really helps! Wish you all the best!
Trust me I’ve had it for a little over a year now I punch some thing and the pain will just never stop so it’s better to use this video because I see the difference to
I'm pretty sure I have this... Thanks for the advice!
Pain and unability to curl the pinky returned after 25 years. The last month I've been doing hand grip exercises with VERY careful attention to how the pinky gets involved. Lots of partial warm up and gripping with the pinky extended before you start to involve it. The results were stunning - the pain, stiffness, and weak feeling of the hand went away 100%. It was so strange to do household chores and feel my hand normal again! It was so strange to pickup the gripper one day (about 3 weeks into the exercises) and all of a sudden to discover super high strength and endurance. That is when I realized that the gripping exercises work - my hands were letting the damaged parts actually work and were not protecting them by blocking the movements. It's ana amazing feeling. But I still needed to work on completely touching the palm with the pinky. I'm overdriven when it comes to physical exercise so that was the moment where I overdid the hand grip exercise. The lesson from all this is - gripping exercises will help but MUST be used extremely careful and with attention to the rest as much as the attention to the actual exercise.
That last day in the morning I did about 200 full squeezes (one every 3-5 seconds) with a grip that provides 65 lbs of resistance. From a fully extended finger position to complete fist contraction. It felt amazing. Squeezing fully - touching the two bars of the gripper and hear the metal sound. But in the evening I did about 50 more. That was the mistake. The pain returned that very evening. But I could tell it was not as serious as the condition a month ago.
Healing now. Today, 3 days later, I was able to use the grip gadget again with great results. Gave me hope. Ivanko gripper - the best on the market, very fine adjustments and a variety of hand positions to load individual fingers from different angles. Best $50 you will ever spend.
One important thing to pay attention to is the condition of your forearm muscles. When I started to do the grip exercises a month ago I had to start with forearm mobilization and massages multiple times a day to loosen the muscles. Lots of accumulated contractions in the front and the back of the forearm. That is a protection mechanism that keeps the pinky from getting involved in motions. See if you have limited flexibility of your forearm muscles. Most likely you will. Stretching works very well but you MUST approach it slowly. We are talking tendons here - they respond to training super slow - weeks and months. And require a variety of angles to respond.
One last thing - you do not realize it but you do have bad habits that worsen the pinky problems. Look how you hold your computer mouse. How you hold the steering wheel. How you hold a knife. And very common - how do you hold your cell phone. Chances are it is all geared toward immobilizing the pinky and excluding it from motion. You MUST address these habits.
Good luck.
I got a boxers fracture on my ring finger back in may of 2021 and i still can’t bend it back as much as I used to be able to. It feels like it needs to be cracked but I’m scared I’m gonna break it again. Also it causes a lot of pain when I try to crack it. Should I go back to the doctor and have it checked out? It’s been over a year now? Also what techniques do you think I should try? You know how you push down towards your palm to crack your fingers? I haven’t been able to do that with my ring finger because it hurts when I try to. Then when I try to bend it back towards the back of my hand it starts hurting a lot as well. I think you could seriously help me out with this insufferable pain I’ve been having. I wish I could go back in time. Thank you for helping me if you see this 🙏
@@burrowthechurro I can't give you any advice because I have no idea how your problem differs from mine. In other words - if you try someting I suggest and seriously hurt yourself you will think how stupid you were to listen to some internet guy you don't know.
I re-read my post and I have to say I've given a lot of general good information. But how much of what is too much for someone else I can not say.
My only word of advice is this; Do not wish you can go back in time. Wish to find solutions in the future. There are solutions. It's just a matter of finding them. So keep looking and try new things very carefully.
Thanks for this video doctor i got a boxers fracture 3 weeks ago and my doctor suggested to wear plaster for 3 weeks and now its removed. Im able to all these exercises that u mentioned with very very mild pain ( or no pain at all) the problem now is i want to punch things like before but the doctor said me ill need to wait atleast 3 months before i could fully use this hand. Will this fingers get it to the power i had before or will it be life long like this?
Thanks !
My knuckles changed shape after doing this. I didn't have a fracture, but the cartilage changed. And even when I squeeze my hand from the sides it's not as flexible. It's worrying me. But it's probably partly my stressful situation at the minute and anxiety.
I'm at about 90% range of motion after 7 months. I hope I can get back 100%.
Helpfull video
Got a displaced fracture of 4th and 5th metacarpal about a month and a half ago. Had surgery about a week after It happened with 3 pins put on the side. Got my cast on now and get it off in a week. Can't wait to start moving my hand, doing exercises, and working out my arm. Just wondering if u have any kind of time-line for weight lifting or getting back to work. Thanks
These are great aswell. check out her other videos too.
Thank you for the info... May I ask if this is a non surgical therapy to treat boxers fracture?
I think i just damaged mine hitting a tennis serve last night! it kind of snapped on a hard serve. Kept playing and had trouble holding my racket. Hopeing I can rehab!
Broke my fifth metacarpal (shaft) falling on it during basketball, and just got my cast off after 4 weeks. Hurts so much, still swelling and stiff and weak. Going to try these exercises. Thank you!
Check out her other videos I broke the same bone and I've just started also let me know how it's been going and the improvement in your hand please after doing these exercises.
Unfortunately, follow up appointment last week with X-rays showed the fracture hadn’t quite healed, so it’s 3 more weeks in the cast/hard brace thing. :( I’ve started to do some of her massages and basic stretches, which do seem to help with pain and stiffness. Good luck with your hand.
@@quiet1933 hey man, if you want to speed up the healing process of the bone drink LOTS of milk/other calcium sources and protein will also help. Vitamin d3 (from the sun) will also aid in bone quality. Also staying active with the rest of your body (cardio, weight training legs or any other form of physical activity) will help the recovery due to the increased blood flow (yes bones also have blood flow, just not a lot)
@@quiet1933 I’m at the exact same stage as you were when you made this comment. How are you feeling now?
I’m at my 4th week almost done to take it off I’ve slept a lot and it seems to be healing quick but how quick until u got the strength back to shoot the ball or moving the hand
Knuckle benders, pencil over pinky, pencil under pinky, then do hookfist into fist with pencil if you have the range. Which I do now.When I started. Even the highlighter was to small. If you have a boxers fracture and you are worried about recovery. Do exactly what this lady says. The coin thing along with other exercises. I can even make a fist.

Or will it be permanent? Plz help
Now I`m motivate per quanto sei Bella!!
Looks like the video is made for me. I punched a wall some 40 days ago, got my ring and little fingers fractured. Had 3 wires inserted and plaster for a month. All of my fingers got stiff. My middle and index fingers have now got the movement, thanks to your one another video, I did all the exercises and it worked well. Now I have problem bending the little finger and straightening up the palm just like you showed. And I am sure it will help too. Thanks Michelle for such videos, you have given me hope to recover from the pain I'm going through mentally and physically. Will be back when I'm good.
Sumit Meena glad it is helping! Thanks for the kind words! 🙏
Thank you Michelle. It worked really well. Now I can bend all of my fingers and straighten up the palm.
It seems that the doctor have tilted my little finger just a little, now it moves a bit inwards when I bend it. Working on that now to get it straight.
@@sumitmeena8732 bro ab heavy weight utha late ho
@@masterfact924 yes bro. I can lift heavy bag. It's normal now. These are good exercises.
My injury is got a lot better my finger fully extends fine, but It just aches have u got any tips ? And when I press under the side of my hand it's still a bit sore but a lot less sore. Any tips on the aching pain to stop as I want to start training again and don't want to re injure myself
can i do that after 3 weeks of plate implant surgery?
This happened to me 2 years ago but I didn't see a doctor and my knuckle regrow very ugly I can move my hand normally and extend normally and make fists but my pinky knuckle is very ugly and deformed
whats is your thoughts on this situation
thank you
You're welcome
I'm dealing with one now got in a fight and hit him 5 times with my fist I'm having trouble out of it it pushed my knuckle back a good bit will the nickel ever go back in place I'm also having problems in my wrist with it popping outta place thank you in advance
Thank you for the great video Michelle, I love your channel.
I've got a boxer's fracture (4-5 metacarpal) a month ago and I was in a cast for three weeks. I'm not sure if it safe to do these exercises yet? I tried them just for a bit and I have no issues in the range of motion but I still have pains when I move it. I would love to know what you think.
Hi Ido! Thanks for the kind words! If your doctor took you out of your cast and didn't put anything else on you, that usually means they want you to start moving. Your doctor should have given you some restrictions and probably took an xray that showed your bone healing. It is always wise to check with them, if you have concerns. If you are free to start moving then usually the pain is from the tendons moving over your fracture site. Don't push too hard in the beginning, you should notice improvements in just a few days!
@Sin City Bargains can be from that too!
Thank you very much. Just had a huge pin or nail I dunno what there are called in English removed from my 5th metacarpial due to these fracture. I have the symptoms you described (numbness while doing these exercises, pinky can't go all the way up and can't form a full fist) so I am gonna try them 3 times a Day starting tomorrow. Thanks again!!
You are welcome. Keep me posted on how it goes!
@@VirtualHandCare like a dream. Can make a fist now and I feel I have 50 - 60% of my strength back, still can't straighten my pinky up but there is much improvement. I am doing your rehab routine 3 times a day and it's working wonderfully.
So I punched a door, the next day my hand hurt just by breathing lol, the doctors took 10 x-rays but said nothing was broken. They just gave me naproxen for the inflammation and sent me home. A month later and my hand still hurts just a little 😢 and of course my pinky knuckle is still twice as big as before. Not sure if doctors were honest or lied.
Hey I’ve hurt my hand yesterday and have broken the boxers fraction how long is the recovery time as start a new job in 2weeks and involves lifting
Thanks beautiful
Ma'am my 4th metacarpals is injured I can't go to the hospital because of the pandemic.
what exercise should I do(my 4th metacarpals is bend)??
I've had a splint on for 3 weeks, any advice? Is it supposed to still hurt? Should I take it off leave it on?
I am having my stiches removed today, and I am starting with excersise, I had 3 pins in palm, and my last (smalest finger) cant bend or straight all the way - is this because of th einjury, or because I was not moving it for two months I had pins and partial cascet on? Also, did you say to repeat those excersises every hour? What is the average time person return most of his finger mobility? My bone has healed "like a stone" , meaning great, but now I need to handle my reduced mobility - how long peopl eusually take to recover (I know every case is unique, but we are speaking in general). I am a 44 old male
Got into a physical altercation 2 months after it hurts if I do certain actions but should I just do these and let it heal?
thanks for the exercises. I removed my pins 3 days ago, how long till I can surf. my pinky barely moves at all
It will take around 4-5 months to come back to fully normal
Can these exercises help un freeze the knuckle of it has been a year of not being able to bend it ??
Hello doctor! So I'm a boxer but I actually didn't brake my hands boxing. I broke the phallanx (right on top of the knuckle) of my pinky finger wakeboarding, the handle got stuck on my pinky finger and kinda of swooped it sideways breaking it, not a total brake but yeah 4 weeks splint (I'm halfway). How should I protect my finger when I return to boxing, should I over-protect it with the handwraps, maybe aplly some cotton to make a sort of padding and then wrap my hands normally? I'm scared of rebraking it or getting too much pain but also can't wait to go back.
I still have 3 k wires in right hand its been 13 days now after surgery. Should i do these excersice ??
Hello mam. Namaste 🙏.... May I want to listen to this video in Hindi language, what needs to be done for that please give any suggestion.
I had 5th metacarpal fracture 4 months ago but still I can pop any of my knuckle from that hand although there was only one fracture but still I can't pop any of the knuckle please help , I can hold things with my hand
Had a bad boxers fracture , 2 surgeries and pins plus bone graph. I have full mobility but the pain seems to never go away. Do you have any exercises for a healed but chronic pained fracture? Unknowingly I've been doing your exercises before even seeing the video and that seems to help but was hoping for more techniques. Thank you for the video.
My updated video here-th-cam.com/video/GEUV37qkimM/w-d-xo.html may have a few suggestions that can help.
Thanks very very much. As I can't afford PT at hale hand center. These are definitely helping. I think I waited to long after healing. All my fingers are super stiff after 2 months. But my pinky is totally messed up. No motion except typical. I'm almost at 90 degrees on the flaction of bending knuckles. But pinky PIP is super stiff. Long way from a fist. So stiff so sore. I believe these exercises are helping me. I go back to work in a week. I need money to pay for PT. Rock and a hard place. THANKS FOR THE HELP. Any advice for a struggling 40 year old?
2 months is a long time for muscles and bones to be inactive. Just like any other muscle you’d train to get stronger in your body, you need to exercise a he muscles on a frequent basis to build the strength and mobility back up over time. - from a PT 😊
I just took my brace off my doctor have me a ball to squeeze. Will my pinky go back to normal?
How do I buy the buddy finger product?
Ive been able to close my fist since my injury s month ago. I think it feels ok still slight discomfort. I should have got a xray. Anyways I just noticed my knuckle looks more raised than my other hand… should K worry? Like I said I Don’t have problems closing my fist. I thought it was inflammation but i think the inflammation is gone now… Thanks.
How long does it take for the pinky Finger to full go back to a fist or go straight???
Is it normal to feel some ache in the joints and bones or should I stop doing it
Hello, I broke my pinkie and had to undergo k wire surgery.. My bone was fixed and later a splint was put.. But in some days I removed it and thought the finger would be completely normal soon.. I didn't visit the doctor again... Now it's a little crooked and there's tenderness.. Kinda restricted movement too.. What can I do??? And will it be like it was before the accident?
Do you do those exercises while its healing they gave me a splint that's removable or after the healing I'm confuse and the doctor I went to sucks.
daniel cano same here, I was in jdc and it took them 2 weeks to get me to the ortho, I have a removable cast but haven’t been wearing it. The fracture is visible but idk if it will go away. I was told check back in 4 weeks...I’ll see how it goes
thanks, what if the fracture has happened the other way, ie by catching a ball and fingers extend backward until mcp fractures, how to get that extension again?
Rachel Lorenzen try this video to see if it will help time get the extension- th-cam.com/video/IH6WJX5FGMs/w-d-xo.html
I’ve had a boxers fracture for like a year, feel like this is just my life now😂 going southpaw
Oh damn those techniques actually helped a lot, fuck me😂, first exercise really got some movement back god damn
LOL! Glad they helped!
I have had it nearly for a year also but it’s been kinda blessing in disguise because my jab has improved so much and I have learnt to fight southpaw.
@@sachinmahi7709 how do you find the exercises? For me they stop my hand getting stiff, should do them more tbh
@@dr.ligmahnutts2993 this is my second day doing them and honestly my hand is feeling better especially my ring and pinky finger haven’t been able to get rid of the tightness in between there because it started to mess up tendons in there and my ulnar nerve I have been doing nerve gliders for over 8 months but the tension between those two fingers would never go away until recently feeling much better hopefully can start hitting a bag with my right hand again.
Same exceries work for index injury?
Hello dr .
Thank you for this great video .
I had strike the wall strongly ..
I am training boxing ..
Now i.have a pain in 5th small finger ..
How many days .. i need to get a recovery in my 5th little finger ?
You will need to ask your doctor so they can look at your x-rays.
Its about 4 to 6 week...if u non smoker it will heal faster dan the who smoke
I broke my 3rd and 4th metacarpal incomplete fractures, my hand is so stiff, got the cast off at 3 weeks no follow up X-rays just free hand now trying to get movement each day but still very stiff, I’ll try these exercises but right now not hopeful with much
Ive have 3th, 4th and 5th fractures, ive been to doctor he tried to put them in place, i had a gypsum for 7 weeks but today when he took it off, i was shooked to see that he didnt put them in place..
Now i have an appointment for plastic surgery on 25th of November, still cant move these fingers.
Should i try these exercises?
I had my hand x-rayed and they didnt find any significant fracture but the knuckle is about twice the size on my hurt hand (i did a flurry on a big metal dumpster in rehab). Its been about a year and i still have to shake my hand in the morning to be able to move it. It feels like the little fingers bone is going into the knuckle lower on this hand. Im finally trying exercises but i was wondering if you had any insight into metacarpal head damage. I have to return to boxing soon or im going to lose my mind. Will my pain just worsen forever if i do?
Hello and thank you!!
I broke my 5th metacarpal while punching a wall and my doc said that you should keep the cast for 21 days(3 weeks)
I got an X ray 4 days ago (after 14 days in cast) And my doc said it is alright. So today i took the cast off and is been 18 days. I can barely move my little finger and i have a slight Pain like a Empty space or smth. It is a problem ? Has it been fully recovered?
I have this same problem currently. Did you recover okay ? Thanks
@@HorrorVet yes man its alright now, you will be fine too,
@@plutoniac5320 thank you - I got cast off last Friday , I still can not bend my pinky so I’m a little freaked out -it’s almost like my pinky knuckle is gone ? I was starting to panic, is this what you felt . Doctor was not too concerned overall last week , said it’s a common break and said I’d see improvement in two weeks and good as new in two months . Did you gain full range eventually?Thank you much
Thank you for the universal healthcare thanks goodness we don’t need to wait on the government since we to have good people like you offering your knowledge for free
Hello thanks for that great video! I had a boxers fracture in both hands 5th metacarpal fracture from a boxing match without gloves, I won the match so that was good. My doctor did not perform a closed reduction on my hands. I was put in a splint for 6-12 weeks and after 6 weeks I was good to go. However now after removing the splints I cant see my pinky knuckle I can feel it but not see it when I make a fist. It is however slightly now showing as time passes it’s showing a little more and I can feel it more, but not yet fully appeared, it looks sunken. I was wondering if it will rise again after my full recovery period has ended or will it look sunken in permanently?
It could be because of swelling, lack of full flexion at the metacarpal or the way it healed. If it was nondisplaced you should be able to see your knuckle in time however if it was displaced and a closed reduction is not performed the knuckle can heal a 'little off'. Your xrays would show what type of fracture, how it healed and if this will be permanent.
Laat week The sugeron told me i have old fracture on the 5th metacarpal from a 6 months skateboard injury and theres nothing i can do he advised me to not do surgery that it will make it worse. in that same week he sent me to physical therapy rotator cuff shoulder pain I develop from catering work.He had also said that my 5th metacarpal is a malunion fracture which means it healed correctly xray shows the bone bented and my hand shows it due to the hand bump i noticed and he says i shouldnt worried about it
MY reason for not going to the doctor when i got injured my 5th metacarpal is because my insurance took about a month to get to my home in mail and by then it was already too late and I didn't feel no pain and it was already healed.
After going to physical therapy for my rotator cuff shoulder pain I started to feel pain stiffness and numbness on my pinky finger and its knuckle and also my ring finger is now developing pain and it cracks when i bent it
So now the pain is beginning
What should i do
Irvin Parrado there is a lot that could be happening which is difficult to explain over a reply. Perhaps you developed scar tissue and are feeling the pulling when you move your shoulder however this sounds to be a separate issue as it could be a nerve pinching in your shoulder. Your PT should be able to determine where the nerve pinching is coming from. A malunion means it healed incorrectly but it is healed. There only way to fix that is another surgery with a plate.
@Virtual Hand Care thanks for your reply! I was also thinking the same thing about the swelling because it’s strange that’s it’s still swelled after 2 weeks from removing the splint? Maybe it just takes time. Also I wanted to mention about the displacement, is that, the doctor when he saw me on the 4th day after injury he told me I will monitor your hands in the first “3 week surgical zone” If that period passes and your bones don’t move your fine. The first time I met my doctor he did t do a closed reduction I’m guessing because he thought I didn’t need it? The funny thing is. I feel that now I have a stronger grip in both hands than before, no finger crossing over, or misalignment in my fingers, they even rotate perfectly like before. Just the only thing missing now is my mp/knuckle bone. The doctor anyways told me if your knuckles don’t show like before, or at least for now, my orthopedic said I can always have a surgery to make it reappear if that would make me comfortable but highly not recommended. The thing is, I completely understand that if the hand is functioning fine that’s great and all, however my hands or anyone’s hands for that matter are designed and created to be and to look in a certain way, and that is for all joints and bones to show in that way, to be correct and aligned to appear in their natural way, if not that means that there is something wrong and there might be a risk of them breaking again in the future. That’s what I was thinking about. And like you said in your video, “when we make our hands in an angular shape, all your joints and knuckles! should show” and I think that’s correct, for the same reason as mine.
I recently had a car accident and the injury I had was to my middle finger. its been a month and ive still got swelling to my metacarpophalangeal joint.
Hello there. I broke my hand a little over a year ago. (classic boxer fracture) my name is Clinton. Your videos have helped so much. All of them. Especially the pencil curl into fist. I have almost 100% mobility back. IBut my wrist and pinky are feeling weak. Any advice or exercises? Please and thanks.

Does this work for ur middle finger, plus it hurts into the next knuckle on same finger. Please help
I got fracture 2 week ago. I not used any plaster. When should i start exercise?
Is it still safe if i pull my pinky to pop and relieve stiffness?
what do you think about Hand Grippers, like Captains of Crush for hand recovery and grip strentgh ?
Those are ok but they only work the hand one way. It's always good to have a few different exercises depending on your hand needs.
So it's okay for partially healed fracture, to make it harder to make fist and eventually Im gonna be able to make that fist?...
I am suffering with it .I punch on wall and my 5th metacarpel bone broke ...now 3 weak held I had problem in right wrist...pain
Broke my metacarpal bone while playing volleyball after one month my bone is fixed but I lose my grip strength and wrist is also got weakened.....I'm gonna try these for next one month
My right hand 4th and 5th metatarsal bone broken. Already 34 days gone. I am depressed with my slow recovery. If I tried to move then feel pain in my 4th and 5th finger.
I removed my cast after 2 weeks for attending my exam. But I only attended one mid time exam with my broken hand. That time i barley move my 3 finger (1, 2, 3rd). 😢
I am scared of this injury. But I will try this exercise. I Hope it will work.
Bro how is ot going i jave a the same fracture on the 5th one and after almost 6 weeks i cant crul my pinkie fully making compelet ended fist on the 5th one is not easy or possible i feel like the swelling of on top of the broken place doesn't let me make a full fist , can you please me an update 🙏
I had such fracture - more than a month has passed since the removal of the cast. Now I can clench al 3 joints passively with help of other hend but I still can't do it one travmed hand only... I can do this only 50%. How can I treat this ?
I’ve have a question.
I’ve had my boxer’s fracture a year ago. For two weeks I kept myself from going to doctors, eventually heading to the office and asking for help. The cast was applied, and after a period of time (probably couple weeks, the memory is hazy) I returned for possible treatment. The specialist concluded with review that it is unnecessary for a surgery, however, if I feel discomfort I should be obliged to return.
I was also told that it would return into the original position.
A year since the case, I still haven’t got the knuckle in the right place, I should’ve obviously anticipated that the day it got broken. The pinkie is tid bit shorter. Though it is completely functional, and I do not experience major discomfort, though I’m dissatisfied with the look of it, and a certain aspect of its position, as there is some discomfort when it comes to certain activities.
Is it still possible for me return the knuckle back in its former place? I believe I would need an advise from a specialist. Is there a small chance I could do it myself? A stupid question, but it’s better to be aware.
This is not a stupid question at all! But it definitely is one that a specialist can answer after they evaluate and assess your finger by seeing your finger.
@@VirtualHandCare same happen to me ive been with this injury for 5 weeks or 6 and just yesterday I came into the doctors do you think I’m going to need surgery or not
