Hey all,
I was wondering if some doctors can give me advice regarding a medical matter. 4 weeks ago I accidentally lacerated myself while doing tricks with a butcher's knife. The cut was on my middle finger just before the third knuckle. In otherwords, the cut was in the intermediate phalange (spelling?) part, very close to the joint with the distal phalange. I could see the bone, but it was clear the cut was not all the way to the bone. X-ray confirmed no bone damage. I got stitches and everything healed very well. But I still have limited mobility in that finger. I cannot extend it straight out, and when I curl my fingers, they cannot touch my palm. When I try to extend it straight, it's not painful, but I get a feeling of the skin stretching and pulling and I'm afraid to go farther lest the skin rupture. Can anybody give me some info about whether I will be able to regain full mobility of my finger? I'm a little worried about it now. It does not hurt, but I'm afraid to try and force it too far.
