Hello ladies! I am a massage therapist and had such a dumb accident that put me out of work for two months. I ruptured my (DIP) tendon on my middle finger, also known as “mallet finger”. It was a 40 degree rupture, which is pretty significant, so I’m in a splint 24/7. After 4 weeks the tendon is healing, but could be better. I still have a crazy amount of swelling, and my skin is irritated from the medical tape, and I change it often (daily/everyother - unfortunately it’s the only thing that keeps the splint stable) Luckily it’s not too painful, I’ll get random zingers. I would love any advice for tendon healing/swelling. I don’t think there’s much I can do for the stiffness, until I can do pt. But whatever else you can offer I will gladly receive! Thank youuu 🤍
