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)
HelloThank You for contacting HCM.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 painHope this answers your question.
