Hello, I had an accident that took a little chunk out of my finger that is near my knuckle. The wound is got infected and I noticed my knuckle hurt to bend. I drained it and put some meds on it the wound appears to be healed but the pain in my knuckle is still there. Is it related. Is there an infection inside?
reclothe wound if healed, may not be infected.it's a chance that knuckle got simultaneously bruised at the time of accident. Usually it takes few days for complete recovery. See an orthopedic doctor and have an x-ray done to rule out any bony injury, in case it is, then some finger splint may be needed for immobilization for few days, if not, then nothing to worry, just wait for it to heal spontaneously thanks
