I pinched my hand yesterday. Several hours later I noticed a large swelling and bruise use on the back of my hand. I applied ice. Now the bruise has spread to the knuckles on 3 fingers and up to the wrist. My concern is maybe I severed a vein and is still bleeding. There is no break in the skin and very little pain. Should I be concerned?
