My hand is still swollen a week after i fell on it. It is not painful because I attached a splint to immobilize my 2 fingers to the far left of the thumb on my left hand. When can I expect the swelling to go down? Do you think I need to have my hand X-rayed?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. I personally recommend x-rays on your left hand to be sure if there is any minor fissures or fractures minor contusions usually fade their swelling within 3 to 4 days, NSAIDs like Advil tab, topical gels, and an arm sling, try elevating your hand to decrease the swelling till you visit you specialist to exclude injuries.
