Last night I took the splint off of my finger after about 7 weeks. I thought if I did it overnight then I might sleep thru any painful initial movement.
In the morning my finger had remained straight, so it appears that the ligaments & tendons are fixed but after all the weeks of not bending my finger it is very stiff and painful. The skin is also very sensitive, so it might be a few weeks before it is back to normal.
It was a fairly long day with my wife picking up my mother-in-law from the respite / carehome in St George where she has been staying at since her release from hospital after being hit by a car in July.
We took her home and stayed with her for the rest of the day.
