Broken fingers
I broke two fingers on my right hand five weeks ago and i am still not able to use them very stiff. Please advise me of what to do
You could get a finger exerciser that they sell at music stores.

This would help strengthen your hand/fingers as it heals.

What treatment did you have for the broken fingers? Splinting with buddy tape? Cast?
Stiffness is normal after any injury especially a fracture. If you had proper treatment I would feel comfortable telling you to exercise your hand. Squeeze a rubber ball or silly putty. Do stretches of you fingers pulling them back to just past the point of stiffness then forward.
If you didnt' have treatment and a follow up xray to confirm healing, I would get that done first. Making sure the bones aligned properly is most important.
