Visit physiotherapy clinic and start mobilization exercises, as you delayes it will become stiff and later it wont be able to recover to its full extent.
Do not neglect it, start physio treatment.

Pls first of all relax ,don’t be so stressed.It’s a normal treatment protocol.It’s the right time now or I can still see some bandaging done ,so the time it’s removed you can go for physiotherapy session.your therapist will start with mobilisation and dry needling will also help you.He will suggest you some home program exercises,just be regular with them and your hand will be fine in less than a month time.
