Hello. I am sorry to hear about your mother. Pain & stiffness in hands & digits is very common after injuries and needs proper assessment & therapy. You need to take her to see a hand specialist/orthopaedic surgeon sooner rather than later. I see you are in Bangalore, please let me know if I can help. Dr M Vashishtha FRCS dr-MV.com
