Would warm water be indicated? Warm Vaseline? Or simply continue what I've been doing--very, very, VERY slowly increasing the flexibility by manually moving it. I went in looking for an appointment with, or reference to a therapist, but that wasn't possible at this time.
Tough call. As I told you before, in USA they would have repaired the bone and tendon at the same time. Not sure why a 2-step process in your case. Agree a hand therapist might be helpful if you can get plugged in.
