Finger with a mind of its own
My index finger on left hand will no longer line up with the rest of my fingers. It's natural position is on a slant inwards at an angle of about 40 degrees. I try to straighten it and can't without manually pushing it with the other hand. I did break my wrist about 5 years ago and my strength in that hand has not been the same since. I think I also have some arthritis beginning to happen in hands and elbows.

This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
