[|Human|] I have an inch-sized cut on the back of my hand (right over the knuckle below the ring finger).  While I can ball up my hand into a fist slowly with minimal pain, I cant seem to fully extend my ring finger.  Its like its just lazily laying there.  Is there anything I can do at home?  (cant afford a trip to the ER)
[|AI|]  Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. It will take some time to heal. As the healing process will progress, movement will become possible. Meanwhile, I would suggest you following things:> Keep wound clean.> Apply poly fax plus ointment thrice a day> Wash hands before and after applying.> Take acetaminophen for pain Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
