Gotten worse

So, made some not so positive experiences. One was that are a night of significant alcohol consumption and smoking my fingers seem to have become worse. Don't know if it's related but it seems to have happened the morning after a large party. Maybe the nicotine has an effect.
 
I also feel that the daily oiling is becoming a real chore and I have skipped a day as well thought abut stopping to see if it just gets better as I do not lift heavy weights in the gym. That's just wishful thinking I am sure. What would make sense though is to modify what I massage into the skin to make it progress faster.

For now, I'll just go ahead as usual.

Improvement

There is clearly some improvement. I have been diligently doing 2 x 5 min massage every day. The nodes seem to be softer and smaller. I am not sure but also, the ring finger seem to be straighter when having the left hand in the normal relaxed position.

It's very promising.

Still doing my daily massage. Now, I use 2-3 drops of oil on each hand and do 5 minutes of light massage. Also, do not use any barbells in the gym and do not play tennis. Has not gotten worse but also not better. So, no change as of today in the hand.
