Finger Injury?


Back in April of this year, I cut my finger to the bone with a razor (I was whittling) and I went to the emergency. Long story short, they didn't stitch or put glue on it like they said they would and sent me out bleeding (after about 3 or 4 hours of waiting) with a band-aid. It took over 8 weeks for the wound to close up. I couldn't move my finger so I finally convinced my mom to take me back to the doctors. They said I needed physical therapy and apologized, more or less saying it was their fault. Now they won't return our phone calls or talk to us when we go up there. I still have limited movement in my finger and there's also and indented scar. What can I do to get movement back in my finger? I can't go to specialist without a referal and I don't have a regular doctor. Also what kind of surgery or scar therapy could I do to make my finger fill back out where the scar is? Is there a plastic surgery or something that they can inject into my finger? Please post any info. Thanks.

I did put neosporin while it was healing on it. But now it's completely closed up so it won't help. There's only a tiny amount of scar tissue because it's smooth on the scar. I've been trying to move it but it's doesn't work. I can't even use my finger to type on the computer or even put my hair in a ponytail. I was also taking piano and guitar lessons (with plans of pursuing a career in music) and now I can't play either. I've been playing the piano on and off since I was 4 years old and I really love music but I can't play at all now.

You could have it opened back up and the scar tissue removed then stitched/glued properly this time. I would make them pay for it too.

I cut my pinky to the bone on glass, and got no stitches either, the scar is not too bad because I used Neosporin daily for months, but I had limited movement too, so I had to work on it every day to loosen it up, sometimes it is still stiff but I have full movement if I move it a bit. It takes time, if it doesn't get better moving it more, maybe a specialist could help you. Keep putting Neosporin on it for a while, it does help reduce scar tissue, in my experience.
