I have had this Mallet Finger for 5 years but the good thing about it that it doesn't hurt when I touch it so can they numb it if it needs to go into Surgery?

• Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. 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.
