Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Middle Finger After Treating For A Fracture

My mother-in-law got fracture in her right hand middle finger. Doctors did x-ray and when found fracture they tied the find tightly with bandage. She got this done on 6th November 2011. But still she is having pain in that finger and not able to use that finger for household works. Can anyone tell me the reason behind this and also provide some remedy?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The fracture of the fingers should be treated properly.
Failing to get proper treatment for a broken finger can result in several complications, including permanent stiffness, damage to capillaries, or hand deformity.
I suggest to consult an orthopedist for further evaluation.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
