Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How Can Pain And Tenderness In 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?
It could be a simple contusion. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
General & Family Physician
