Hi There, On Christmas Eve I Slipped Up The Stairs
hi there,
On Christmas Eve I slipped up the stairs and jammed my middle finger into the railing. I had xrays and it showed there were small flakes of bone that chipped off at the knuckle. It has now been just over 2 weeks and I still cannot bend my middle finger - I am worried about it healing properly. Is this typical or should I be able to have some movement back in it now? It is incredibly stiff and feels very strange/sore when I try to bend it
