instruction: hi doctor a few days back I got hit on my finger with a tennis ball I am unable to fold the finger from that time I thought it as normal and applied ice also I am using an ointment given by an rmp it is almost two days now and still I am unable to fold the finger if there are three joints in a finger then I am getting pain in the middle joint whenever my dad or mom does some massage with ice kindly help me with the above issue thanking you in advance
output: hi I know how it feels when the finger got hit and unable to fold first of all after applying ice for 10 15 minutes ask someone to hold the finger from hand to the first joint as you know there are three joints in a finger ask them to slowly move the first joint without disturbing the second joint and then do the same with the second joint by holding the first and the third joint repeat this for at least four times a day if unable to do movements then you can visit a surgical shop and ask for a single finger grip which helps in the immobility of fingers if available can take paraffin wax used in physio treatment melt the wax and apply it on the finger for 10 minutes the wax therapy will be available at any physiotherapy centre I hope these remedies will provide some relief from pain and gives mobility of the finger follow up after a week for the further treatment plans thank you
