Hand Injury. Soreness In Palm And Side Of Hand. Should I Get An X-ray Done?
Hello Dr.Venkatachalam, My name is Conor. I will get straight into it. I punched a wall extremely hard nearly 3 weeks back while in a drunken bar fight. It was very sore for 3-4 days after it happened and i had some problems with moving it for awhile. Now, 3 weeks later, i have full motility of my hand back but it is still a little bit sore in two places(palm and side of hand just under little finger ). the pain is not too bad but i still cant go to the gym or lift very heavy objects without pain. should i get an x-ray or is it just bruised and in the process of healing? kind regards Conor Ryan

Hello.
Thanks for posting your query.
You had still tenderness at base of little finger after 3 weeks , so chances of bone injury is likely.
You need an x-ray to rule out any fracture.
You have to visit an orthopaedic surgeon for examination , xray and treatment plan according to that.
wishing you good health..
Regards.
