Left Index Finger difficult to bend

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Our user asked: "I had a wart surgically removed from the crease line at the first digit of my left index finger the incision has healed but the finger remains pretty stiff. I have kept that finger straight for 2 or 3 months because it was painful before the surgery. If I hold my hand out level I can bend the finger down maybe a 45 degree angle and then I feel tightness in the ligaments. Can you recommend a exercise routine to get my finger back the way it was. Thank you"
