Could Little Bruising And Swelling In Palm After Banging It Cause Fracture?
Hello. Recently I banged the palm of my hand into my knee, accidently. My knee seems alright, but I am concerned about my hand. Does it sound like it could be fractured or just bruised? It only hurts in the specific area, in which it hit it, and only when I touch it, or move my thumb joint in a specific way. The bruising isn t very noticeable, and there is very little swelling.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to tendinitis of the hand.
I suggest to use se rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) for pain and swelling.
Do not use your injured hand for the first 24 hours after an injury, if possible.
An elastic bandage can help decrease swelling.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
