Long story but my hand got hit with a shovel by accident. It s bruised and swollen. The problem is that my ring finger the knuckle hurts and I between the knuckle and the knuckle on my finger there is a hard lump not visible. I m scared it s fractured not sure what the lump could be.
Hello, I have studied your case and I would recommend you to get x-ray of the hand as soon as possible because I think that you fractured your finger that time and as you have not got it reduced in proper position there is deposition of the calcium in bone leading to these symptoms. Other cause can be collection of soft tissue and fluid. If there is only collection of the blood than soon it will dissolve. You need to take hot water fomentation and antibiotics. If there is hard lump and calcium deposition than it may need surgery. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
