not necessarily
It sounds like you should be evaluated by a Board-Certified Fellowship-Trained Hand surgeon.
I'd be happy to see you.
please call 413-582-2600 to make an appointment.
See a hand specialist to have them diagnose the problem and make suggestions. Surgery is not always necessary.
It depends β€” most of the time, you can try non surgical things first.
It is important to always seek a medical evaluation by a licensed professional to ensure it is not the manifestation of something more serious. You also want to seek help sooner rather than later to prevent any further damage to the area.
It’s possible. However, I would suggest you go see a local hand surgeon so that a diagnosis and treatment plan can be made.
