Cannot bend fingers after surgery

Surgery is a relatively common treatment method in today's clinical medicine. It can also cure many problems in the human body. However, surgery also has certain side effects and sequelae. For example, many people will be unable to bend their fingers after surgery, which requires patients to cooperate with doctors and receive certain treatments. Below, I will introduce to you the relevant knowledge that fingers cannot be bent.

1. The fingers cannot be bent after surgery

Surgery can only help restore structural integrity. Fine motor functions still require subsequent rehabilitation treatment and persistent exercise by the individual. Patients are advised to strictly follow postoperative precautions, move as much as possible when they can, and undergo regular rehabilitation treatment. This is a slow process that requires patience and cooperation with the doctor's treatment.

2. What disease does pain in each finger indicate?

Sudden onset of thumb pain may indicate cardiovascular or lung disease. However, the elderly are not sensitive to this type of pain because of their poor peripheral nerve sensation in their limbs, so other symptoms need to be observed at the same time. If accompanied by cough, wheezing, chest fullness, palpitations, and irritability, you can frequently press the thumbs of both hands to stimulate the heart and lung meridians and relieve symptoms.

Pain in the index finger may indicate lung or large intestine disease. People who also have symptoms such as sore throat, cough, fever, sweating, shortness of breath, dry mouth, toothache, diarrhea or constipation should frequently press the index fingers of both hands to stimulate the lung and large intestine meridians.

Pain in the middle finger may indicate liver or heart disease. If it is accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitations, restlessness, irritability, etc., it is recommended to press the middle fingers of both hands frequently to relieve the pain.

Pain in the ring finger accompanied by symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, irritability, thirst, and excessive sputum may indicate lung disease, and you should press the ring fingers of both hands frequently.

Pain in the little finger indicates kidney and small intestine diseases, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, back pain, diarrhea, etc. Patients with this condition can frequently press the little fingers of both hands. When pressing your fingers, use moderate force and consistent frequency from the palm to the fingertips, for about 5 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day. After pressing, shake your hands gently to relax. However, it must be reminded that pressing the fingers is only for health care reference. If more serious symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital immediately.

3. The symptom of finger inflexion should not be underestimated

1. Long-term finger stiffness can lead to paralysis of hand function: When long-term finger stiffness develops to a serious state, the fingers will show symptoms such as severe pain, redness, swelling, stiffness and even disability. Therefore, once patients find that they cannot bend their fingers, they must take correct treatment measures in time.

2. Long-term finger stiffness can lead to brain paralysis: As the saying goes, "a clever mind brings a deft hand," which shows the important position of "hands" in our daily life. Fingers are the most direct response of the brain. Long-term finger stiffness can lead to paralysis of brain function.
