Went back to my doctor this morning and I got the go ahead to start bending my knuckle! It's a scary thing, but I just tried it. I could only move it maybe 3/4"! I have a long way to go before I can make a fist (my orders), but have 3 weeks before my next appt when I need to be at that point.
Re: Post-surgery finger update
Yeouch!
Good luck. I had to go through therapy for a crushed joint in one of my fingers. NOT fun.
I think that what I'm doing is basically the physical therapy, I'm just doing it on my own. If things don't go well and I don't have the full range of motion that he wants when I see him in 3 weeks, I think he'll send me to an actual therapist. I'm just hoping to avoid that.
