Member 3694, 281 posts SQ 260, BP 172.5, DL 280 712.5 kgs @ 132kgs UnEq	Well my hand is now ready to start strengthening and getting mobility back, This is how my hand is looking now [IMG]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f382/3552/35ed87dc8c1f7354ae... [IMG]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f382/3552/9909839394fdc47f49... There's quite a bit of scar tissue, especially in the back of my hand, it's raised up and feels quite hard, so has anyone got any tips on how I can start breaking this down? Also my wrist and fingers are very stiff and I cannot clench a fist fully yet or bend my wrist down or back fully. I've got physio on Wednesday, but if anyone can give me a bit of help on how I can improve things myself at home it would be great fully appreciated.

I thought Joplin choked on a sandwich?

Something easy likea stress ball or a big sponge for reps

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	That's a nasty looking injury. I would suggest getting a tennis ball and simply try to squeeze it. I should imagine this will be the sort of things the physio will get you to do. As for the scar tissue not really sure what to suggest other than massaging it with something like a squash ball might help. Just suggestions, I'm no Dr or expert.

It's very light and involves lots of flexing and extending of the fingers and hand.

Member 3694, 281 posts SQ 260, BP 172.5, DL 280 712.5 kgs @ 132kgs UnEq	Cheers guys. I've just been keeping it working for now (flexing fingers, trying to make a fist etc) and also been rolling it on a squash ball, that's all I'll do for now, seeing physio tomorrow so will see if they give me any other exercises to do.

Extensions against an elastic band or two, maybe some light pinch grip stuff. I'd say wait and see what the physio says though.
