  20. Abhinandan Kumar Jain says:

    Hello Dr. Sharma, I’m 70 years old, met an accident and got 15 stitches on palm near thumb (thumb bottom and near area, V shape stitches if look from wrist side) in July 2019 and got nice recovery. I travelled with flight seven times in two months (November-December) and lifted luggage multiple times. Ultimately I am suffering from stiffness and swelling in 3 fingers (little finger is fine), not able to bend fingers fully from last four months. Now I am taking Rhus Tox 200c, 3 pallets 2 times a day. My griping power is fifty percent with light swelling. All fingers bend hardly up to near wrist at the time of folding. I felt tension in fingers. Moreover putting hand n fingers in hot water my fingers got bend seventy percent and behave like trigger finger sometimes.

    Learned from Google that it might be tendon scar tissues, as fingers are bending a little but not fully. Not sure if Flexor tendons needs to be checked.
