Anyway, my Boutonniere's went away! Fantastic! Now I feel like my leg is sort of hurting the same way. Not terribly. It was my middle finger on my left hand, and now my left leg sort of feels like Boutonniere's. Really funny. But stretching my leg in different angles helps just like it did with my finger. Maybe I just sleep weird on my left side. Heh.

Anyway, thank you for responding. I'll try not to get corny and talk about liberty mutual ads and paying it forward, but again, thanks. :)

Hugh Laurie, the actor that plays Dr. House, said the same thing about his leg. He fakes a limp for his role and after a while his leg actually started hurting. There is a definite connection between mind body and spirit that I think Western Medicine neglects.

That's absolutely true. A few months ago I had some lower back pain, and was always complaining about it. Some time after it went away. Then my father sent me an e-mail, I forget what it was about, but something about my lower back pain. I told him it went away but it got me thinking about it again, and the next day my lower back hurt. Funny.

(PART-2) What I can suggest is this, acceptance of an injury is the first step in recovery. Your finger, no matter how bad it's been damaged, is not killing you. Yes, we all have used this expression but doing so comes with consequences. Your subconscious mind will hear you saying this and thing "Oh my, it's far worse than I thought." Understand that your mind can and will manifest whatever you tell it and I mean just that. It will obey your every command. Be careful what you tell it. OK?

LUCKY—Hum, I take on Boutonnière deformity is to comment preventative treatment as soon after the initial injury. Restoring a digit to its pre-injured state is most difficult, even by a hand orthopedist, which I am not. So, without knowing more about your case or without a physical, I cannot offer advice, other than to suggest you seek an office visit with hand specialist. (Continued in Part-2)

(continued:) Should I keep a splint on at all times for several weeks? Or should I maybe only sleep with a splint and then do stretches and exercises throughout the day? What should I be doing? Thank you very much in advance for any help you can offer.

I have Boutonniere's and it is killing me. I think I have a mild to moderate case. After a while of stretching throughout the day, doing various painful stretches, it gets better and the pain dramatically lessens. I sleep with a homemade splint on. I'm not sure if it's correct. I wake up and my finger hurts tremendously. I've been doing research and there's not much I've found. The recommendation to flex the distal phalanx was new to me, and I will definitely be doing that.
