My hand froze up in a strange position yesterday. My doc had told me to start using my hand again (ouch) so I complied but ended up stretching my arm to pick something very light up and finding that it was agonizing.

I had felt this pain before, but this particular moment left my hand stuck with the in dex finger pointing at a right angle to my palm, my middle finger pointing slightly lower than this and if you do this now you'll see how my other fingers were -- but all of them were strangely straight.

I seriously could not move them and it scared me so much -- I was buckled over in agony and I couldn't make it go away. A couple of minutes later, however, I could move it again but was very sensitive.

Has anyone ever had this? Is it normal for post op or should I seek out more help?
