Could Hand Pain With Bruising, Swelling Be Due To The Old Fracture?
the top of my hand has been hurting for almost a week. It feels like a bruise but doesn t have the black & blue color of a bruise & it is a little swollen. I have broken this same arm about 30 yrs & have pain in the area where it was broke with weather changes, could my hand be hurting in association to this?
Hi, Welcome to healhcaremagic. After going through your query I concluded that you are suffering from swelling of hand now for one week.You have got fracture 30 year back. You want to know that whether it is related to your 30 year old injury. Old fracture may cause pain occasionally during season changes but not like this for one week. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Elevation of limb will be helpful. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have additional questions and clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.Wishing you a good health. Take care.
