Joint Stiffness after Jammed Finger?
Three days ago, I jammed my finger. It hurt immediately after the injury, but I had to wait another 6 or so hours until I could get a split, during which I avoided the use of my left hand as much as possible. It's no longer swollen or painful, but it's impossible to bend it far and shakes when I try to bend it. As I try to bend it more, It's uncomfortable and shakes more significantly. Is it stiff from wearing a splint for the three days, or from the injury. Should I splint it longer?
