I have a multifragmentary fracture in my left middlefinger. It's broken 3 times lengthwise! :D Thank God, everything was still in line so I didn't need surgery. After 6 weeks, it healed quite well but the lowest segment close to the hand is still swollen. From your videos I know why that is and I have looked in your videos for a few exercises because by physiotherapist is overbooked. Watching your videos is a pleasure because you answer all the questions I have at this point and you present all that helpful info so beautifully. Best wishes from Germany!!!!
Thanks for making this video - I fractured my ring finger on thanksgiving and after 3 months though the fracture healed, it's still swell. now I understand why. thanks!
dislocated pinky finger I have same problem does the swolling goes away in 2-3 weeks and when can i start writting again I have exam next month after 30 days

Thank you. I sliced my hand in between my pointer and thumb pretty bad . Its been 4 days and still swollen and painful . No discharge ,redness or scabbing but a lot of swelling and pain . I have been sliced so many times and i have never had swelling from it . First video with exactly the info i am looking for 👍.
Helpful. I dislocated (I think) the middle joint on my pinky when I tripped hiking about eight weeks ago. Functionally, it's fine - I can play piano and guitar, okay grip strength, so I don't think the bone was affected. However, the "inside" (next to my ring finger side) where I guess the tendons/ligaments are continues to have a bulge and is a little sore if you push on it. I'm totally fine with waiting, as I'd hate to lose the functionality I have now with a cast or splint.
Guitar player here. Coworker smashed multiple fingers between two boards 3 days ago. Major swelling and stiffness and soreness. But really no loss of mobility at the joints, thankfully. It's just really painful to curl them and painful to the touch anything. I can't play yet, not even close. I'm so worried about "permanent" or prolonged swelling in the ring finger of my fretting hand. When I do a comparison with the fingers on my right hand....I want to cry.
Guitar player here as well. Injured my middle finger breaking up a dog fight four months ago, and my right hand middle finger is still sore and swollen. I can still use it for finger style playing, but I don't think I'll be able to gig for two or three hours, as it starts to get sore and weak. Hoping it heals within the year.
Did your finger ever get better? I'm living your exact life of having an injured middle finger on my right hand from breaking up a dog fight, except I draw instead of play guitar. @@Jonathan-mt9up
Good explanation. Impacted my hand on a branch biking and 2 months later still extremely swollen. Finally started breaking it down with a massage tool and CBD cream and in 2 days it's already looking much more normal. Wish the doctor would have known this, he just advised me to take my brace off and start using it.
My right big finger was broken, and now its fully healed but one thing, it remains swollen and I feel a shock pain in it when I stretch it😥 ,,,The doctor say the swelling wont go away😥
This is so helpful. Two weeks ago I broke my ring finger so bad that they had to do a bone graft. It's kind of numb and tingly and very stiff and swollen. I do finger exercises every day.
This really is a great video. I hurt 3 of the middle finger knuckles about 3 months ago. They are still a little sore and swollen, as 3 months have gone by I have been increasingly worried. This video as really given me insight and answers into my injury. I have searched quite a bit on google, and this video covers information that did not come across in my searching. Thank you!
She forgot the most important thing: use Kobalt tape to wrap the injured finger to help push out the swelling ! Plus learn how to wrap finger ! Starting from the nail back to webbing of the finger! Plus don't wrap it tightly! Smiles!
I fell, tripped over a very small step, and fell forward, and hurt my hand. That seems to be my only injury. It hurt really bad! About an hr. after, I could move them slightly, but still alot of pain. That was about 7 hrs. Ago. The pain has lessened, I applied some pain cream with hemp, and that seemed to help. So I'm not sure if might have a sprain, or some trauma with some swelling. Can you advise me what to do next? Thank you!
Three of fingers still swollen after a month due to scooter accident. The joints are swollen, hurt to bent. Hopefully 🤞 it get better after a few more weeks 🙏🏻
That was reassuring. I'm three months post-op on distal radius and ulna fractures. My wrist has been healing well and I expected there to be a long healing/recovery period. I did not expect how much my hand would be affected. The persistent swelling in my knuckles and finger joints seems to be preventing any restoration of finger mobility and I've developed trigger finger in index and pinkie. The PTs response is to double down in forcing my wrist into flexion way past the initial pain point. That does nothing for my fingers, but it sure irritates and inflames the extensor tendons down where they bunch up as they enter the carpal tunnel.
@@diffident2406 Now a little over one year post-operation. Wrist is OK and I am still re-gaining strength. Fingers are much better, but still have minor problems. I got a steroid shot in each knuckle. That gave blissful relief for a few weeks, but then the drug wore off. Progress is slow, but I no longer suffer triggering in my index. Triggering in the pinkie has been almost eliminated, but I did develop triggering in my ring finger. The trick that worked best for me to reduce triggering is to wrap a band-aid around the proximal joint of the affected finger and leave it there for a week or more. The goal is to avoid triggering and allow the inflamed tendon and its pulley to reduce back to normal size. During the first six months of healing, I got much pain relief and anti-inflammatory effect from weed. Far better than any of the prescriptions that the doctors gave me. But I tired of being high all the time, so I switched to CBD oils. Also better than pharmaceuticals. I'm lucky to have a good CBD shop near my house. Some formulations work better for me, others work better for a friend with a sore back. You just gotta experiment to find out what's best for you.
My PT is doing the exact same thing. My whole hand is swollen, and they are more concerned about forcing my swollen fingers into a fist than the swelling that prevents me from making a fist. Some of the swelling needs to subside to allow for more mobility. They are very aggressive with my fingers. I do communicate that with them, but they only talk about me making a fist. I'm a bit frustrated, but it's only been 2 weeks since I started PT.
Thank you! This middle finger will not go down. I do touch and do the things you said. Been 3 months. Im going to leave it alone, lol. Thank you again for the info.
Your videos are very good; i just had a very bad accident and a surgery and still trying to heal and I wonder how to improve faster. Thanks for your feedback!
The problem is when it’s your index finger you have to use it for texting sometimes a lot and or or you have to type and just use it in general so you can’t rest it. What do you do? I’ll go back to your video and it tells you what to do. But thank you for explaining why this keeps going on and on. I just jammed it on the mirror trying to kill a bug was so stupid of me.
Thanks for video. Very informative. I had a right hand middle fingure injury. Top of the middle fingers gone cut and healing is in progress. Request to tell medicine that regrow finger skin. Plz
Great video but you never mentioned a time range…what’s an estimate for say a jammed finger that has gotten swollen. How long does it take for the swelling to go down? And how long should I do the RICE method before starting mobility work? Thanks!
I don't normally like,sub or comment to channels like this but u hit the nail on the head with regard to y question. Thank you.. cut my pinkie n it's strugg.ing badly n 8m a chef so its affected my ability to cook. Thank u unasked my mInd
Thank you I am 6 weeks out from traumatic middle finger near amputation at furtherst knucke area which also fractured the bone in the adjacent segment. Well a great hand specialist reattached everything and now the skin is 95" back in one piece and the bone knitted enough to remove K-wires but finger is still pretty swollen stiff and fragile feeling easily causing pain. Just frustrating the swelling remains
Hello Michelle, thanks for the video!.. i do have a question regarding permanent swelling in the finger joint after an injury that was years ago.. is it normal that the finger joint may remain swollen for ever that was caused from an injury years ago.. cause i had a finger injury like 6 years ago but my fingerjoint is still swollen and thick but otherwise i do not have any pain or limited motion.. the problem is just the swelling.. is this normal that the swelling may stay for a lifetime in the finger or could there be other underlying situations?
I have a fractured knuckle and my doctor said that it’s healing very well, but my pointing finger is still swollen. She told me to just exercise my hand with a tennis ball. Is that good for it?
Thanks for the info, I've been out for 6 weeks with a broken finger tip but it's is still swollen and slightly painful. Maybe I've been a little too aggressive this week trying to get it back to working condition.
Hi, thanks for the info. Isn’t it possible my affected finger is swollen because lack of circulation from stiffness and not being able to move it properly ?
I massage my finger to help the blood flow through my arm. I break my wrist and the doctor told me he keep me in a casks for another 4 week and my wrist still hurting.
Its been 3 years and still my ring finger hasn't reduced at all (due to volleyball) .. Will it be permanent or will go back to normal?... Some suggestions please on how to reduce it..
“If you constantly torque and crank and pole, your fingers not going to like that.” As a grappler, really can’t help it. The take away I’m getting from this video is that we should, To an extent, ignore swelling. Tracking like a laser beam
Well, it is with great relief that I found this. Doctors have been removing wood from my hand (twice) but my swelling remains 4 weeks on. Ultra sound and xrays say it's all out of my second last finger but the swelling and pain remain like taxes. So the end of the finger seems normal but the joint close to the palm seems swollen and stiff. Maybe time is what is needed? Subscib and liked!
Thank you for sharing this information. My little finger was severed and dislocated at second join. Swelling is there and does skin also takes time to cover the wound on finger?
Thanks so much i thought my fingers had Arthritis or Gout so i was panicking God bless we are a fragile human being but i need to exercise and also limit caffeine
My middle finger has been swollen for 2 months and idk what it is, it’s not swollen on my fingertip only the bottom, and I can’t bend it only a little😭😭
I punched the frame of my steering wheel out of anger weeks ago. Don’t have any swelling but I could still feel a uncomfortable pain. My hand is most definitely not like it was before. But it’s working pretty well. Will time make it heal or should I get it checked out? Thanks
About 1.5yrs ago my hand got in the middle of a dog fight. I got bit at the base of my ring finger. It healed very fast, flesh wise, but it's still slightly swollen. I can't wear both of my rings. I can usually get away with just my w-band. I'm very sad and frustrated with this. I really dont want to alter my rings.
I got in fight with my drunk brother and my hand got fucked up I beat his face so bad I messed up my left pinky I was dragging him out my apt and he bite my right thumb it was bad and I still have trouble today this happened 12 21 it makes my so miserable 😖
I fell & broke my little finger and surgery I February 24 then PT. My finger looks better but is still swollen & the tip is bent. My PT is completed so I keep doing my exercises. Maybe I’m overdoing it but my fan causes it my turtle finger.
I just went to a physical therapist on Saturday She pulled and tugged at the swollen tendons in all 5 fingers on my hand I thought my fingers were going to get dislocated she is not a certified hand therapist my fingers were hurting so bad then she put 5 electromagnetic pads on my arm in my injured area she said to take the swelling down and make the blood flow I will never let her touch me again
I'm from South Africa. Caught quite a laugh when you mentioned us. I dislocated my finger 3 days before Christmas 2021 and its been 2 months and I still cant make a fist. My finger bends till the first joint and kind of stays at a 90 degree angle. Still need to get my finger tip to bend on its own without manually trying to bend it with my other hand. Will try these exercises and hopefully it comes right. Will keep you updated :) Thanks for the great info
Wasn’t there one day and showed up in my pinky finger with no injury. X-ray showed no mass. So I have an antibiotic for infection. BUT HOW DO YOU GET AN INFECTION WITH NO INJURY?
Today I was at basketball camp and my hand was in the right place to catch the ball someone touched it and it moved and then jammed my finger thanks for the advice
@@AKSHAYKUMAR-qc7kb I keep wrapping it and it does help with swelling but the way it's healing now i find my knuckle pertruding so i'm going to see a specialist
I slammed my fingers in my car door. Went to ER and they said no broken bones and gave me an ace bandage, 4 weeks later it still hurts and swelling. My mother keeps telling me to excercise my fingers by pushing down on them a little at a time so they don't get stiff. Should I do it even if it hurts. Or should I do it just until it hurts then stop?
Exercising helped me but not pushing. Try moving your hands and fingers without any resistance, as if you're playing piano in the air or like when singing the itsy bitsy spider, do it with all your fingers
@@gintonic3625 I started seeing an OT two weeks ago who said the same thing about gentle movements, and that seems to have helped more than when I was pushing it to the point of pain. So, thank you for the good advice!
Great! Do make sure you check out my other mallet finger videos. That little injury can be a pain! ruclips.net/video/cpQwVQIzODk/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/XMHZjUieJxg/видео.html
@@pewpew90 mines still swollen after 8 weeks of being in a splint. I was told 8 weeks and happy to take my splint off today only to have my finger albeit straight but it’s swollen and even hurt to try and bend it so I just put it back in the splint.
Do you or anyone watching this know if it's common for a doctor to offer to do surgery to remove scar tissue when the pinky isn't responding enough to occupational therapy?
My right index finger has been stiff and hard for 2 years. i think it may have been from gout. i don't recall hurting it. i do use it alot with the mouse and keyboard. strict
I got a cut that got infected. On the end of my middle finger around the nail on the top. The finger swollen up and got infected I went to the doctor. They gave me antibiotics. The cut healed but the swollen on the end of the finger as he said the tendon was infected the end of my finger is still swollen but the wound is healed and it burns redness all over Nativity finger it feels like a burning sensation in my finger is still swollen on the tip of the finger middle finger
I use the computer to work all the time and about three weeks ago my thumb started feeling a bit painful and then extended to my front arm. Then got trigger finger due to swollen. Seeing specialist and physio right now. But the swelling issue still lasts.. a bit frustrating :(
I was cutting a bunch of strong cardboard for a long time to make book covers. It was difficult to cut through the cardboard but I kept going. Even when my finger started to hurt, I still kept at it until I finished. I'm too stubborn for my own good sometimes. My finger (pointer finger, middle area where it was rubbing against the handles of the scissors) is now sort of swollen. I thought it would turn into a blister after a few hours but fluid is just staying in place which makes my finger kinda stiff. The area where my finger was rubbing against the grip feels kinda numb when I touch it. What do I do? I have commissions to do and I don't want my finger to bug me while I'm drawing :,3
Just got my splint off after removing k wires from 4th and 5th base metacarpal fracture and been doing exercises and notice a bit of swelling, exercise my hand continuously every hour. How much rest should I give it from time to time?
Can you do a video on MCP joint wash-out surgery, I got bit by a dog, left my hand for a few days to see how things went, turns out my hand was infected and 2 wash-out surgeries was performed. Now my hand just isn't the same after 3 months, it's stiff and tight plus I have a massive scar. Thanks in advance

I punched the frame of my steering wheel out of anger weeks ago. Don’t have any swelling but I could still feel a uncomfortable pain. My hand is most definitely not like it was before. But it’s working pretty well. Will time make it heal or should I get it checked out? Thanks
About 1.5yrs ago my hand got in the middle of a dog fight. I got bit at the base of my ring finger. It healed very fast, flesh wise, but it's still slightly swollen. I can't wear both of my rings. I can usually get away with just my w-band. I'm very sad and frustrated with this. I really dont want to alter my rings.
I got in fight with my drunk brother and my hand got fucked up I beat his face so bad I messed up my left pinky I was dragging him out my apt and he bite my right thumb it was bad and I still have trouble today this happened 12 21 it makes my so miserable 😖
Thanks for all you help Michelle. You are an A N G E L . . . : )
Thank you
I fell & broke my little finger and surgery I February 24 then PT. My finger looks better but is still swollen & the tip is bent. My PT is completed so I keep doing my exercises. Maybe I’m overdoing it but my fan causes it my turtle finger.
I just went to a physical therapist on Saturday She pulled and tugged at the swollen tendons in all 5 fingers on my hand I thought my fingers were going to get dislocated she is not a certified hand therapist my fingers were hurting so bad then she put 5 electromagnetic pads on my arm in my injured area she said to take the swelling down and make the blood flow I will never let her touch me again
Mines have been swollen for 4 days and I am feeling pain. I applied ice 🧊 to it and it still hasn't gone down.
Do hot water and very cold water help swollen hand?
Got kicked three weeks ago still swollen and can fully articulate.
I was stabbed multiple times at the back of my palm and now my fingers are stiff after surgery, I don't know what to do
My finger has been swollen for years from learning guitar. What do I do? Stick a needle in it?
I'm from South Africa. Caught quite a laugh when you mentioned us. I dislocated my finger 3 days before Christmas 2021 and its been 2 months and I still cant make a fist. My finger bends till the first joint and kind of stays at a 90 degree angle. Still need to get my finger tip to bend on its own without manually trying to bend it with my other hand. Will try these exercises and hopefully it comes right. Will keep you updated :) Thanks for the great info
How’s your finger ?
She named her channel😮
My finger is slightly broken as it like we cant even see it properly in x-ray it was misplaced and now it is in its position and started healing 😁
I cut my pinky finger 2 months ago, still hurt and I cant fold it as before🥺
Wasn’t there one day and showed up in my pinky finger with no injury. X-ray showed no mass. So I have an antibiotic for infection.
BUT HOW DO YOU GET AN INFECTION WITH NO INJURY?
I was having pull ups and my pinky finger got swollen of left hand
Today I was at basketball camp and my hand was in the right place to catch the ball someone touched it and it moved and then jammed my finger thanks for the advice
I got bit on my thumb and now it’s numb & swollen , they had broke skin so I was scared that it might’ve been infected!
thanks for the info just what i needed since i dislocated my pinkie 3 weeks ago!
IS IT STILL SWOLLEN MINE PINKI GOT HURT TOO
Did it work? I'm waiting for the reply. My middle finger is also dislocated.
@@AKSHAYKUMAR-qc7kb I keep wrapping it and it does help with swelling but the way it's healing now i find my knuckle pertruding so i'm going to see a specialist
@@loriscaccia711 H! I have the same problem. what did your doctor recommend? I hope to hear from you. Thank you.
My pinky is swollen over 2 weeks because I was probably crushing it with my other hand in my sleep.... I tried to rubbing medicine oil
I slammed my fingers in my car door. Went to ER and they said no broken bones and gave me an ace bandage, 4 weeks later it still hurts and swelling. My mother keeps telling me to excercise my fingers by pushing down on them a little at a time so they don't get stiff. Should I do it even if it hurts. Or should I do it just until it hurts then stop?
Exact same bs happened to me a month and a half ago. How is your finger doing now? Please tell me it gets better. 😭
Exercising helped me but not pushing. Try moving your hands and fingers without any resistance, as if you're playing piano in the air or like when singing the itsy bitsy spider, do it with all your fingers
@@gintonic3625 I started seeing an OT two weeks ago who said the same thing about gentle movements, and that seems to have helped more than when I was pushing it to the point of pain. So, thank you for the good advice!
@@GoldenSun10 how is it now? and what helped most?
Perfect timing, was just wondering about that today after my mallet finger injury

did you suffer a finger joint injury ?
Do you or anyone watching this know if it's common for a doctor to offer to do surgery to remove scar tissue when the pinky isn't responding enough to occupational therapy?

What about for people whose finger randomly has swollen up without injury. Its been a month now.
I was cutting a bunch of strong cardboard for a long time to make book covers. It was difficult to cut through the cardboard but I kept going. Even when my finger started to hurt, I still kept at it until I finished. I'm too stubborn for my own good sometimes.
My finger (pointer finger, middle area where it was rubbing against the handles of the scissors) is now sort of swollen. I thought it would turn into a blister after a few hours but fluid is just staying in place which makes my finger kinda stiff. The area where my finger was rubbing against the grip feels kinda numb when I touch it.
What do I do? I have commissions to do and I don't want my finger to bug me while I'm drawing :,3
Please why do my small finger swell and go down on its own and no pain when it swell.

Can you do a video on MCP joint wash-out surgery, I got bit by a dog, left my hand for a few days to see how things went, turns out my hand was infected and 2 wash-out surgeries was performed. Now my hand just isn't the same after 3 months, it's stiff and tight plus I have a massive scar. Thanks in advance
