Finger Weakness & incoordination After Injury Posted: 06-06-07 14:07pm
hi I play the piano and im having trouble
with a few fingers. I was playing
football over newyears and sprained the
middle finger of my left hand. The last
joint was affected it was bent to the left
slightly and that night the finger swelled
up to nearly half its size. The finger
healed almost completely in about a month
and I was playing fine even though it was
still bent. I decided(bad idea) to try
and bent it around and pull on it to see
if it wouldnt bend back into place. With
my right hand i flexed the last joint of
the left hand and put a lot of pressure on
the finger to try and bend it back. After
doing this when I tried to play piano the
finger felt really weak and barely able to
push the keys. I can move it up and down
okay but it seems shake a little and
doesnt have a lot of strength. There is no
pain. My question is when forcefully
trying to bend my finger could I have
damaged the nerves/tendons/muscles in a
way that it would cause this? I would
appreciate any help if you can as this is
my livelyhood
