Any treatment advice for strained finger tendon? It's just a nagging thing. She can make a fist. Pain is mostly on hyperextending the finger. We've been kind of lax with taking care of it, so we are going on two months now. We did see the ortho, and he didn't feel she needs to stay off of it yet. Should we splint it when she's not at gym? If it's not better in a couple of weeks with icing and taping, we will get an MRI. She's training level 8 so she didn't want to fully immobilize it, but would that be the better thing to do?
