After suffering Stenosing for 2 months I finally got it fixed. It is an operation and it is as easy as the doctor said. When I visited him, he did say that it is going to be a minor operation. Just go in, go to sleep and when I wake up, it is fixed. He didn’t tell me that it is going to be inconvenient for one more month because the hand has limited use. Lucky it is my left hand that was operated.

Here it is before the operation. As you can see, I am already stretching out all my fingers but the middle one wont budge. There is no pain, just feels like the limits of the joins. I cannot straighten it anymore even if I force, not that I think is a good thing to do. The only pain is that the tendons feels stretched, like how it is when you bend a join more than it could take.

The hand is bandaged after the operation. The cut is at the palm, alone one of the natural lines on the hand. And as you can see, I can straighten the finger already. This is a few days after the operation. I only had to stay one night at the hospital, which was lonely more than anything. The finger was fixed straight after the operation, just that the tendons that were operated on felt raw. The doctor has advised that I move the finger, try to straighten and pull it. The operation site was painful more than anything.

One of the problems with the operation on the palm is that it always sweats or get wet. I try not to use the left hand but it still gets dirty and needs to be washed. After a few days, the bandage was removed to reveal the stiches. Look away if you are squeamish.

The wounds are healing well, the finger is almost back to normal. I still cannot bend the finger all the way back without feeling some sensation in the knuckles. Maybe it is because I have not straighten the finger in 2 months, therefore the other joints seized up too.
