Contraction started

I woke up this morning and when I started to straighten my hand I had a cramp like pain in my hand, when this subsided after about 10 minutes I was able to open my hand I realised my middle finger was contracted about 15 to 20 degrees, has anyone else had such rapid deterioration? I had RT about 4 or 5 years ago. It is still uncomfortable now when I try to straighten my hand,

Re: Contraction started

Mary have you tried soaking in your hand in very hot water, and massaging it to see if flexibility returns? If the contraction is due to a DD cord this will only marginally help, if at all. Otherwise maybe you was sleeping on the hand in a curled position. Do you have a cord?

Re: Contraction started

I haven't tried that, my hand was curled when I woke up but middle finger still has same degree of contracture some 4 hours after this incident and I can feel the cord pulling when I try and straighten it. Will try soaking it thanks,
