my index finger on my left hand gets swollen and stiff after I play guitar for an extended amount of time. Im a musician and this is starting to worry me. Is there something I can take to decrease the swelling and remedy this situation. can you tell me whats causing this ?
Hi, It is nothing but a contusion arising out of excessive use and strain. As a first line of management you can apply ice packs and take analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Diclofenac/Seratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedics and get an MRI scan done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
