How Can Pain And Swelling On The Knuckles Be Treated?
Banged my hand against a piece of furniture on Christmas. Pinky and ring finger knuckles hurt, swollen. Wrapped it and the swelling has gone away. Full range of motion has returned, but still, I have pain and some tenderness in the knuckles. Should I expect any more progress, or do I absolutely need imaging?

Hi,
Any bone injury takes a long time to heal &relief from pain. Continue taking calcium, vitamin D supplements &mild exercises regularly. Still, it's advisable to get an imaging investigation done to exclude any serious injury to joints.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
