Hand problem and profession

[graemed]

Hi there,
I have a problem with my right hand, maybe a stretched ligament or tendon.
Which profession do I go to, physio or chiro?
Thanks,
Graeme

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply.
I had a x-ray and analysis by three doctors last year and they said there is no damage shown on the x-ray (like chipped or broken bone). Seems more like a tendon/muscle problem since part of the hand is slightly puffy. The problem only starts when lifting. A doctor in abroad said stretched something but would like to get analysis treatment at home (London.
Many thanks,
Graeme

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
First the problem needs to be diagnosed, whether it is a stretched muscle (see a physiotherapist for this) or due to a pinched nerve (see a chiropractor for this). I suggest firs consult your PCP and get this diagnosed.
Hope this helps. Take care!
