Suggest Home Remedy To Extend A Painful Ring Finger After Hurting It
I have an inch-sized cut on the back of my hand (right over the knuckle below the ring finger). While I can ball up my hand into a fist slowly with minimal pain, I can't seem to fully extend my ring finger. It's like it's just lazily laying there. Is there anything I can do at home? (can't afford a trip to the ER)
It will take some time to heal. As the healing process will progress, movement will become possible. Meanwhile i would suggest you following things: > Keep wound clean. > Apply polyfax plus ointment thrice a day > Wash hands before and after applying. > Take acetaminophen for pain
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
