I had surgery on my little finger, left hand just over a year ago. The surgeon cut across the palm of my hand and cut tissue leading to my second and third fingers as well, though they had not started to bend yet. Gradually, over the next few months, I noticed that the final joint on my ring finger would only bend about 80% of it's former capacity. I play the violin, and I find this lack of flexibility almost impossible to deal with. I have been to various physios but so far to no avail. Can anyone offer advice?
