Question:
How can I tell If Ive broken my hand?
I hit a wall (stupid me i know) my right hand knckle (below my pinky) is sunken. I'm not sure if it is becuase of the swelling on that side of my hand. Also below my knuckle is a pretty good size hard lump. That side of my hand keeps getting almost like a tingling numbing sinstation. I have full range of montion of my finers. I am able to open and close them...but very slowly this does cause pain in the aera that has the lump. That side of my hand also is swollen but not much brusing yet. If slightly pressing on the side of my hand and or the lump its very painful. I have broken my wrist in the past and had no symptoms of pain and or swelling for a week. It also is painful when i rest the base of my palm down for example when i type. I do work for a physican which is out of town lol. help
Answers:
Usually there is severe bruising, swelling, and you probably would be unable to move your fingers, but when I shattered my wrist I could still move my fingers so you may just want to go get an x-ray to be sure.
