Using silicon strips to bring down swelling after NA
Six weeks ago I had NA to correct a PIP contracture of my small finger. I had a lot of swelling of the finger, plus I developed a cord-shaped swelling on the outside/outer edge of the finger that was very painful and prevented me from exercising. I started using silicon strips to wrap the finger and it has brought down the swelling especially where that cord developed. I use the silicon strips almost 24/7 and also use a small compression sleeve bandage over the silicon on that finger.
Anyone else has experience/comments on silicon strips and how to use them?

Re: Using silicon strips to bring down swelling after NA
I've had surgery on both hands in the last 6 months. PT gave me silicone lined sleeves to put over the fingers to help with swelling and scar recovery. Keeps compression on the finger & moistens the skin without the greasy lotion/vitamin E. Scars look great on the fingers...now if I could get the palms to look better.
