Head Hurt And Swollen. Knuckle Soft And Hurts. Reason For Knuckle Redness?
Ipunched a door about 3wks ago and my hand swelled up for about two days. Right after I punched the door it didn't hurt that much I could move my hand easily with no pain I could also make a fist easily but after a few days I notice my knuckle is soft and kinda squished and also hurts a little when punching things softly. My knuckle next to the pinky. Whats wrong with it?
