I Had Surgery In May To Repair A Broken Metacarpal

I had surgery in May to repair a broken metacarpal in my hand (the pinky finger bone). A plate and 5 screws were installed. After surgery a large hump appeared and restricted movement in my hand and pinky finger. Two months post surgery my orthopedic doctor told me surgery would be required to remove what we believed to be scar tissue. The surgery was done and the tissue was removed. Here is the really weird part... IT CAME BACK before my stitches were removed from the second surgery! Now it is bigger and more painful than the first time! Even though I was told nothing came back on test results as cancerous... I am very concerned and my doctor says there is nothing left to do but try physical therapy which seems to make the lump more angry and bigger
