Interphalangeal joint stiffness following claw hand reconstruction

hi guys,
I am not a doctor
i am an army officer who had a grenade explosion in hand resulting in fracture in metacarpals of middle finger and base of metacarpal of index finger.
Result k-wire fixation in index middle fingers and thumb.
heavy bandages due to wounds and skin loss in middle finger

k-wire were removed after 28 days but middle finger remained swollen and index finger wounded.
physiotherapy exercise done to release thumb to 25% movement

now the index finger has been grafted

now i have got the following questions

1. is there any medicine, apart from physiotherapy(which i am already doing), that can help in getting the finger movements back??

2. During the blast there has been certain nerve damage in my ear which has reduced my hearing in non vocal frequencies.although no problem in hearing now, but doctor says it will worsen with age. Is there any medicine which can help me improve my hearing??

thank u ppl for being patient enough to read thru the post
hav fun

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hypericum 30, every morning to increase the blood circulation to fingers and promote healing.

Bellis Per 30, in wet dose, every evening to heal injuries to deep nerves.

Please continue both these two medicines for one month and report back. This should greatly help

For general instructions, please see my Profile.

thank u sir but are these over the counter medicines??
 
arunpanda22 last decade
Hypericum 30c is over the counter in US. I dont know about other countries. It is freely available in India from Homeopathic Shops.

If you cannot find Bellis Per 30, go with Arnica 30c instead

hi,
i got hypercium 30c and arnica 30c both in liquid .how to use them??
 
arunpanda22 last decade
Prepare wet dose (see my profile for instruction) and take a dose of Hypericum 30, every morning and Arnica 30 one dose in the afternoon and another in the night.

1 dose is 1 teaspoonful of the wetdose

hi,
one more query. the hypericum bottle says 90% alcohol. If i mix it with 500ml spring water wont it be too diluted??
secondly i live alone in city.can i use mineral water to make the dose??
 
arunpanda22 last decade
It appears diluted, but it really works well. Yes, you can use mineral water.

hi,
i took the medicines told and they have had desirable effect

now my problem is my fingers have healed but still they are very stiff as they were not moved much.physiotherapy is very painful. is there any medicine that can speed up physiotherapy effects? its my right hand and its been useless for 6 months. i need function in this hand as soon as possible.

Please take 4 tablets of Mag Phos 6x and 4 tablets of Kali Phos 6x alternately, every 2 to 3 hours. You can take up to 8 doses in a day (4 doses of each)

Both are called Bio Chemic Medicine and is available in Homeopathic Shops. This should help to releive your pain and let your fingers relax and help promote movement.

Please write after 1 week.

hi,
the medicines suggested are working quite nicely.tha nk you
but the problem still exists that i have fractures in metacarpals of index and middle finger. so they are so stiff that i cant see any effect of the medicine and being my right hand my hand is useless till my index and middle fingers work.
so i would like to request if any medicine could be suggested that could work a bit fast on my index and middle fingers and i may be enabled to write at least.like some medicine which could be applied externally
thank you

Please add 1 tablets of Calc Phos 6x with Mag Phos and same with Kali Phos 6x. This will help re-union of bones.

If you need further help with your pain, you can take Ledum Pal 30, one dose in the morning and one dose in the evening for a few weeks and then reduce the dosage to once a day only.

For external application, Arnica Ointment.

Internally, take Fish Oil or Cod Liver Oil, almost twice the recommended dosage to reduce the pain.
